Re: update from 1.02 to 1.1.0 > Error: "userCtx is null"
Here it is again, this time .html changed to .txt
The actual site is here:
http://barbalex.iriscouch.com/evab-ch_barbalex_evab/_design/evab/index.html
You need to sign up as it is meant for saving sightings of species and users
should only see their own sightings.
Thanks for looking into it!

CouchDB is supposed to make more sense to biologists than programmers.
The idea is, programmers will say "that is stupid" and non-programmers
will say "that is brilliant."
What is not brilliant is this problem!
My top suspicion right now is something about caching. Many users have
reported all sorts of nonstandard caching that breaks couchapps and
jquery.couch.js.
Let's move this discussion to Get Satisfaction and I'll follow up here
if it is relevant to CouchDB.

Hi Max
I repaced my jquery.couch.js with yours but the behaviour remains the same:
Works perfectly locally, userCtx is null on iriscouch after replicating.
I tried with the following versions of jquery:
1.4.4 > error on local installation
1.5: o.k. local, userCtx is null on iriscouch
1.5.1: o.k. local, userCtx is null on iriscouch
1.5.2: o.k. local, userCtx is null on iriscouch
1.6.1: o.k. local, userCtx is null on iriscouch
1.6.2: o.k. local, userCtx is null on iriscouch
So I left 1.6.2 installed.
Thanks for helping!

Alexander - I believe your error is caused because jquery.couch.js is not
compatible with newer jQuery because $.httpData seems to have been
deprecated. I ran into a similar issue earlier today and fixed it here (see
jquery.couch.js):

You've got an issue filed at Iris Couch Get Satisfaction, so I am
actively investigating; however Iris Couch is very orthodox CouchDB,
almost exactly the same as the official Apache CouchDB releases. Thus
I suspect this issue will apply to CocuhDB generally.

uups, since today userCtx is null again!
I tried updating jquery.couch.js from here again:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/trunk/share/www/<https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/trunk/share/www/script/jquery.couch.js>
script/jquery.couch.js<https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/trunk/share/www/script/jquery.couch.js>
but it doesn't help this time.
This is the page:
http://barbalex.iriscouch.com/evab-ch_barbalex_evab/_design/evab/index.html
You have to signup.
Is this an issue with iriscouch?

If you're including jquery.couch.js in your couchapp it's probably good to
stay up to date with it. Since Futon uses it, it's included with CouchDB. If
it doesn't exist already, you could actually modify your .ini file to create
a static path to the system-included copy.
In general, though, this shouldn't be a problem. Since jquery.couch.js uses
the normal HTTP interface to CouchDB it should work against any release of a
particular major version. In other words, we don't plan to break anything
until 2.0. You just happened to stumble upon a bug that was recently fixed.
Sorry about that!

Hi Randall
You made my day. I downloaded a new version from here:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/trunk/share/www/script/jquery.couch.js
and
it works now.
I must have made a mistake updating. I wonder what else I have done wrong
updating. I simply got a new Windows exe and installed it. Obviously I also
have to replace manually the CouchDB and CouchApp js files in my app. Now it
seems quite clear but being a real beginner I didn't realize before.
Is updating CouchDb and CouchApp explained well somewhere?
Thanks so much for helping!!!

Without looking into it super hard my first guess is that it has
something to do with the content type negotiation.
Are you using the newest jquery.couch.js?
I'm wondering if the response to $.couch.session() is not what it used to be.
