Hi,

I get the following error when starting the server

microcommunity/providers/db.js:21
if(id.constructor.name != 'ObjectID'){
    ^

I used this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3366397/delete-everything-in-a-mongodb-database

but, it stills the same.

[Muhammad Al-Syrwan]

I think i found the problem.

providers (especially revisions one) don't check resource before asking for the normalized ID.

[Amjad]

I'm sorry that was a small bug I didn't notice after I updated the revisions provider

[Muhammad Al-Syrwan]

No Problem.

I think we should provide a good exception handling with our methods, that will reduce debugging time.

[Muhammad Al-Syrwan]

There's a problem with coffee script on server too :(, we can't determine the error line on a coffeescript file.

[Amjad]

I solved that problem in the browser (try to make some syntax error and see what happens in browser console), but I haven't searched yet for how we can solve it on the server, but I think it is quite easy.

I don't mean coffeescript assets, i mean coffeescript nodejs server files.
