Stale Views

[Dominique Legault]

Hello All,

I'm having an issue with my views rendering stale documents on a phonegap app running couchbase lite. If I go to another page and come back to the same page the view renders correctly. this happens on almost all the pages I view. I tried adding the parameter indexUpdateMode: "before" to my view queries but it has no effect. The documentation of the REST API for views is blank. http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile/develop/references/couchbase-lite/rest-api/design-document/get---db--design--design-doc--view--view-name-/index.html

on the php docs it has a stale: false value http://www.couchbase.com/autodocs/couchbase-php-client-1.1.5/classes/Couchbase.html#method_view I tried this but I don't think it has an effect either.

What is the preferred method to ensure all views are up to date when I query them.

Is there any way I can render the views upon new data entering into the db ? rather than when I go to view them.

Thanks,
Dominique

Can you be more specific about what's wrong (including indicating what OS you're on)?

In particular, do you mean that you issue a GET of /db/_design/ddoc/_view/view and get back obsolete data? That would be a bug; if so, please file a bug report.

That's for Couchbase Server. Similar API but they've changed a number of things including the handling of 'stale'. Don't use Couchbase Server docs for reference to Couchbase Lite (or the Sync Gateway for that matter.)

That's the default behavior.
