Sofa only works until the first post is created.

[tacshooter]

Everything worked until I created the first post. As soon as I did that, all I get is:

{"error":"compilation_error","reason":"Expression does not eval to a function. ((new String("undefined")))"}

I'm using couchapp 0.8.1 and couchdb 1.0.1 and I got sofa by running couchapp clone. Do you have any idea what's happening, or whether this is an issue with CouchDB, Sofa, Couchapp or even with my configuration...?

Thanks for any help you can provide...

Same here, and can't figure out why :(

Hi, I got the same:
{"error":"compilation_error","reason":"Expression does not eval to a function. ((new String("undefined")))"}
respective
An error occurred accessing the view: Expression does not eval to a function. ((new String("undefined")))

with "couchdb",version":"1.0.1"
Any hint available?

Hi, Sofa in jchris' repo has suffered bitrot over the years and is badly broken, but I fixed it and submitted a pull request about a month ago.

Even so, you will need CouchDB v1.1.0 or greater to run it, since he used a feature that was added in that release.

You can find my working version here https://github.com/bitmonki/sofa

Please be sure to read the errata document in branch bitrot-fixed.

Relax! ;)

Well, that helped a lot, many thanks. Now it works a fine as far as I understand. As you say, a bitrot,
what are for a newbies the most current chouchapps to look at?
