Determine the cause of duplicate professors returned in endpoint /course/professors

[mikehquan19]

The aggregate endpoint /course/professors, which returns the list of professors from the queried courses, has been implemented. However, after testing the endpoint around, I realize that it returns duplicate professors.

For example, /course/professors?subject_prefix=CS&course_number=3354 will have:

    {
      "_id": "67cc15f9e13b9b509188d89e",
      "first_name": "Priya",
      "last_name": "Narayanasami",
      ...
    },
    {
      "_id": "67cc15f9e13b9b509188d89e",
      "first_name": "Priya",
      "last_name": "Narayanasami",
      ...
    },

Determine the cause of it, which most likely stems from the MongoDB aggregate pipeline. Then, verify the uniqueness of data returned by /professor/courses and /professor/sections as well and fix it if there's any problem.

The endpoint is being implemented in branch course-aggregate, this needs to be fixed before we can merge it to develop.

Hello, I was also assigned to this issue, you reminded me to notify here

[mikehquan19]

@NathanP9000 @FaaizS wanna make sure yall can work tougher on this.

[NathanP9000]

Yeah we have each others number.

[mikehquan19]

@NathanP9000 @FaaizS , I just merged the /course/professors to develop branch, you can pull directly from it to work on the bugs instead of course-aggregate. The bug just needs to be fixed before it goes to prod.

Ok once I finish making my changes how would I go about making a Pull Request?

[mikehquan19]

You can push your commits to your fork first, then go to origin repo and hit green “Create the Pull Request” button.
