Help with getting all keys from a global datastore

#1

I am trying to make a function to get all of the keys from a global datastore

It keeps returning an empty table

I have been trying to ask the AI assistant and looked at forums, but couldn’t figure out what the issue was

function GetKeys(datastore)
	local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(datastore)
	local keys = {}
	local pages = ds:ListKeysAsync()
	while wait() do
		for i, v in pairs(pages:GetCurrentPage()) do
			table.insert(keys, v.KeyName)
		end
		if pages.IsFinished then
			break
		else
			pages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
		end
	end
	return keys
end

Help is appreciated, thanks in advance

either the datastore name is wrong or there are no keys in the datastore

well, for testing purposes the datastore name was “yoink” and I would’ve realized it was wrong, and I added in total 20 keys each with a name going from well, 1 to 20 and each have a string of random letters. I have tried loading them with their keys and it worked, so neither of these are the issue

First, use a pcall function. Otherwise, are there really no error messages in the console? Try debugging with print.

have tried, it doesn’t loop through the for loop and it doesn’t print in the pages:AdvanceToNextPage thingy, only the break. Also where would I add the pcall?
