getting service count from database discovery module

I'm currently trying to use the database discovery module to get the total number of services and the number of discovered services so that I know when all of the services for a particular peripheral device are discovered and set up before discovering the next device. I'm doing this because from what I've found, you can't do things like sd_ble_gattc_write while a discovery is in progress.

The issue is that the srv_count and discoveries_count fields in ble_db_discovery_t don't seem to be updated correctly. The srv_count field is always zero, in fact I don't see it referenced anywhere but where it is defined in ble_db_discovery.h, and discoveries_count seems to be one less than the number of services registered using ble_db_discovery_evt_register

Am I missing something? Is there another way I can check if all the services have been discovered?

The services field is updated so I can iterate through that array to get total number of services and manually keep track of discoveries using the BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_COMPLETE event but, it would be nice to get my code working with the database discovery module

I'm using SDK v12.1 with a NRF52

EDIT 13 April 17

To add to this, the BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_AVAILABLE event is never triggered in db_discovery. I've fixed it as shown below. It's not thoroughy tested but, works so far. I've added it because the BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_COMPLETE event is generated before discovery_in_progress is set to false so, when i receive BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_AVAILABLE, i can start discovery of the next pending connection
