respond_to on view not working

[Sam Wilder]

I am using Couchrest_model v1.1.2

I have a Model with view. Lets say there is a model User with view
defined as -
view :by_email

Now when I call User.respond_to? by_email, or anything like
( :by_email or 'by_email'), I get a false.
However on calling User.by_email, I do get proper response.

Is there a way to add the functionality of respond_to?

Hi,

Just to check, have you enclosed the view method in a design block?

   design do

     view :by_email

   end

 

respond_to? works fine on my setup with a User model. Perhaps you'd like to add some failing tests?

Hi Samuel,

Thanks for responding.

I think that is exactly the problem. When using the older syntax, respond_to? was not working, but with new design do syntax, it does work.

One more question, on a point I came across - is their a specific reason on not having a update_attribute implementation. One o fthe gems I was using relied on that, when using devise_couch.

Thanks,

Sam.

`update_attribute` is one of those methods that makes sense for a RDMS, but obviously doesn't in CouchDB when you have to update the entire document every time; its a bit misleading IMHO.

If you really need it, I'd suggest adding your own hack in initializers:

    CouchRest::Model::Base.class_eval do

       def update_attribute(attr, value)

         send("#{attr}=", value)

         save

       end

    end

Failing that, you might want to update the gem or send us a patch for couchrest_model (with tests ;-).

Cheers,

sam
