TypeError: Object.defineProperties called on non-object

[matteocrippa]

Using the latest version from npm i'm experiencing this issue when I connect to a local db and I try to create a database.

Here the code used:

db.exists(function(error, exists){
if(error)
 console.log(error);
else if (exists)
 console.log("ok");
else{
db.create();
db.save('_design/test',{
  all: { 
   map: function(doc){
    if(doc.name) emit(doc.name, doc);
   }
}
});

Running this code once I receive this error:

/node_modules/cradle/lib/cradle/response.js:126
return Object.defineProperties(obj, descriptor);
^

You should set { raw: true } when creating your cradle connection.

[pulkitsinghal]

{raw:true} didn't help me ... I started noticing this error just recently and I'm wondering if its because of using cradle with couchdb v1.3.0

[indexzero]

Hmmm ... haven't tests this against CouchDB 1.3.0. I'll reopen this for now.

[pulkitsinghal]

Thanks @indexzero, I appreciate it.

Hi @pulkitsinghal ,
May I know what the name of the database you were trying to create is?
As I know the name of database for couchdb can only be lowercase characters (a-z), digits (0-9), and any of the characters _, $, (, ), +, -, and / are allowed. Must begin with a letter.
And cradle seems doesn't handle well while you try to create an illegal database name.

[shihshen]

forgot to say that the version of my couchdb is 1.5.0, and the version of my cradle is 0.6.7

[pulkitsinghal]

@Powpow-Shen I've moved away from CouchDB completely since last year. But as far as i remember I was using names like: wishlist1 and my_wishlist ... nothing more.

[shihshen]

@pulkitsinghal The names look fine. The fix I sent should be able to fix the issue.

HI, I'm getting the same problem reported on this thread.

• cradle: last from npm
• node: v 4.2.3
• couchdb: v1.6.1

Tested with raw: true and raw: false.

I'm creating databases dynamically so I really need it working ;)

Hi @jcataluna ,
Would you mind also test with the PR I sent
#260

[deathg0d]

I had this problem. But for me it turns out that the error was coming from auth before db creation.

Edit: Never mind. It isn't the auth. I am trying to dynamically create a new db after checking if it already exists. It worked one time. Now I get the error again. Not sure what's causing this!
