Where can I find more information about specific CouchDB testing errors?

I'm getting errors in the futon testing suite on attachments and attachment_paths and can't seem to find any information on potential causes. Any ideas? I'll paste the errors I get below, just in case that helps.

attachments error:

Assertion failed: binAttDoc2._attachments["foo2.txt"].content_type == "text/plain;charset=utf-8"
Assertion failed: xhr.getResponseHeader("Content-Type") == "text/plain;charset=utf-8"
Assertion failed: xhr.getResponseHeader("Content-Type") == "text/plain;charset=utf-8"

attachment_paths error:

Assertion failed: binAttDoc._attachments["foo/bar2.txt"].content_type == "text/plain;charset=utf-8"

Solution

  • You're best off posting these to the CouchDB @user list, or asking on IRC. Due to idiosyncracies in browser JS implementations, and sometimes bugs, the test suite failures are often not related to CouchDB.

    I usually run the test suite from a privacy mode to ensure that cache, cookies, logins etc are not contaminating each test run.

    Once the main tests are completed, I re-run any failures manually.

    The error reported above looks quite like you have some form of JSON prettyprinter running in the browser, which is sending a different header set to CouchDB than it usually expects.
