design doc weakness (one view fails = all views fail)
Hello devs,
it seems that, on a design document, if there is one view having an error ( for example "Expression does not eval to a function" ) than all other views are then unusable.
It's not critical and not a real bug, but from my (sysadmin) point of view it's a weakness : one error on one part of the design doc leads to a totally broken app / couchapp.
Steps to reproduce :
1/ create a new database
2/ Create a design doc :
{
"_id": "_design/doc1",
"views": {
"v1": {
"map": "function() {}"
},
"v2": {
"map": "thefunction() {}"
}
},
"language": "javascript"
}
3/ Create a doc :
{
"_id": "doc1"
}
4/ Call the "v1" view
What's your opinion on this ? Is it worth creating a Jira bug ?
Regards,
Mickael

Hi Mickael,
given nobody responded to this yet, I'd say it's a good idea
to file a JIRA so we don't forget looking into it :)
Cheers
Jan

Its definitely worth creating a JIRA issue for so that there's a place
for discussion. This has been brought up a couple times, but no one to
my knowledge has had a good idea of how to solve the issue.
For instance, if a single view breaks, all views will need to be
rebuilt when that view is fixed anyway. The only thing that comes to
mind right now is to have better error reporting so users know what's
broken.
