Regarding .cblite-shm and .cblite-wal file

[Krupa]

Hi,

 I am new to couchbase Lite as well as iOS development.

 I am using CouchBase Liite for my backend DB

I am using CouchBase Lite Viewer to view the data inserted into database.

 From few days, I saw two additional files are getting created along with db.cblite, when I create a database using CouchDB

1) db.cblite-shm

2) db.cblite-wal.

I was able to open the db.cblite in CouchBaseLite View previously.

But from last two days, once these two files shm and wal getting created, I am not able to open db.cblite

Its giving error stating Documennt cannot be opened.

Even if I delete these two files, while trying to open db.cblite, I am getting the same error, and these two files are getting created.

Can anyone please help me on this?

What is the exact error you are getting?  

Those two files are normal.  See sections 2.2 and 2.3 of this page

Just to make sure: You’re saying that the database viewer app can’t open the database, right? Your own app is still working?

Did you download a binary of the app or did you check out and build the source code? The binary that’s available from the Releases section of the Github repo isn’t the latest; it’s not compatible with Couchbase Lite 1.1.

I noticed the same recently. The following solved the problem:

Put the 3 files in a directory, and rename it to a name ending with ".cblite2". Then, the CB Lite Viewer should be able to open it.
