Upgrading an existing Couch's authentication
Hey All
Once again, props to @jchris for getting the authentication up to
snuff. I was able to get a simple authentication system built for my
little couchapp Swinger: http://github.com/quirkey/swinger
Its just so awesome that I can finally have a _fully_ functioning app
with user accounts, without a line of server side code. (!!!)
So the question:
I have couchdb on a server to host the older version of my app, and I
wanted to push the new version with logins/etc. It _was_ running
~0.10, but now I've tried to upgrade it to trunk to get the auth
goodies. I'm realizing now that theres some differences between the
data, user data format between 0.10 and trunk. I'm wondering if theres
an easy way to upgrade the old data, or at least just wipe that piece
without having to completely clear and start the data from scratch?

Oh, Also - the app is pushed and running on trunk on my dev server here:
http://c.ixxr.net/swinger/_design/swinger/index.html#/
Still a bunch of clean up to do around login/validations, but the
basics of login/auth work. (Best viewed in webkit [CSS Gradients])

I hope I'm not stating the obvious, but I ran into this when upgrading
couchdb too. Be careful that you've really gotten rid of old versions
of couchdb. The "fix" might be temporary, as it has something to do
with how Erlang finds the right libraries to run.
If you're on a *nix-type box, run something like
find /usr/lib/ -name \*couch*
(or /usr/local/lib/, etc etc) and make sure there aren't old versions
laying around.
And I too think swinger is a cool project!

I was in admin party mode. But if I create and use an explicit admin, it's OK:
$ couchapp push . http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/swinger
[INFO] Visit your CouchApp here:
http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/swinger/_design/swinger/index.html
$
... and I get the welcome presentation too.
Very cool app! The fade/slide transitions don't work for me (under either
Firefox or Chrome) if I hit the right-arrow button; I get a blank screen
until I press F5. But I can certainly live without those.
Regards,
Brian.

Yeah, I definitely pushed - you must have the latest copy. I think the
BulkSave Error happens if you're not logged in. I'm hanging out in
#couchapp and #couchdb if its still not working,

Hey All
@J Chris: Thanks - I figured it out. I had to delete the old "users"
DB and also merge my default and local.ini with the new ones generated
by trunk. I also was having some issues yesterday with every attempted
update throwing a UTF-8 Invalid JSON error, but upgrading to svn trunk
(as of yesterday) seemed to fix it. I would love to chat more about
the auth stuff at some point, I'm curious how cookies are being
generated/stored. One thing I've noticed is that if I try logging in
to the same account on multiple browsers, it seems to boot me on
reload on one of the browsers. I don't know if this is a feature or a
bug.
@Benoit, @Brian: If you pull the latest from the github repo, the Bulk
Save should be fixed. You need to be logged in as an admin in order to
push the doc. I fixed the validate function so it should work for
couchapp pushes.
@Bob: Glad you're using it! I wanted to get it up to speed with
Couchapp/CouchDB so I can use it for upcoming talks. You're probably
not seeing your docs because theyre missing a 'user' attribute. Sort
of a pain, but if you go edit them in futon it should work.
Thanks,

I tried to debug this error on irc with latest trunk. It seems that
this is related to the validation function. First you need to use an

Hi Aaron,
Just to chime in a bit, this swinger app is way cool! I've been using an older version of it for some time. I did do a github pull yesterday and noticed the new authentication stuff you
put in. I'm not able to see my older presentations. It's no big deal they can be readily redone, just a data point for you, my database has been around for a while and I always run using trunk.
I very happy you're keeping up with this app, it's great to give a talk about couchdb and couchapps and be able to say "oh by the way this presentation is a couchapp" It rocks!
+1 beer
Best,
Bob
