404 not_found with todolite

[Ken Novak]

I loaded the sync-gateway and used the simple react tutorial, which works fine.  Then I loaded the ToDoLite iOS app, and ran it in Xcode and Simulator. It worked fine with the default kSyncGatewayUrl of "http://demo-mobile.couchbase.com/todolite" .  Then I tried to run it with my the URL of my sync-gateway, and I see errors in the logs like this:

03:18:54.034| Sync: CBLReplication[from http://cb1.vieulabs.net:4984]: active, progress = 0 / 0, err: (null)

03:18:54.034| Query: CBLLiveQuery[lists]: ...async query finished (5 rows, status 200)

03:18:54.034| Query: CBLLiveQuery[lists]: ...Rows changed! (now 5)

03:18:54.036‖ CBLRemoteJSONRequest[GET http://cb1.vieulabs.net:4984/_session]: Got error Error Domain=CBLHTTP Code=404 "404 not_found" UserInfo={NSURL=http://cb1.vieulabs.net:4984/_session, NSLocalizedFailureReason=not_found, NSLocalizedDescription=404 not_found}

03:18:54.037‖ Sync: CBLRestPuller[http://cb1.vieulabs.net:4984]: Server is (null)

In my sync-gateway-config.json, I have stripped down the config to this (I wasn't sure whether the database was 'todos' or 'todolite' so I did both):

{

  "log":["*"],

  "verbose": true,

  "databases": {

    "todos": {

      "server":"http://couchbase1:8091",

      "users": {"GUEST": {"disabled": false, "all_channels": ["*"], "admin_channels": ["*"]}},

      "sync":`

        function(doc) {

          channel(doc.channels);

        }`

    },

    "todolite": {

      "server":"http://couchbase1:8091",

      "users": {"GUEST": {"disabled": false, "all_channels": ["*"], "admin_channels": ["*"]}},

      "sync":`

        function(doc) {

          channel(doc.channels);

        }`

    }

  }

}

I tried to include the line for   "facebook": { "register": true }, but that failed the same way. I also get the same results from using "server":"walrus:".   Is there a simple way forward?

Your remote URL is missing the database name (first path component).

D'oh!  That worked, thanks!

You’re not the first (nor the tenth) person that this has happened to :)

We should add a test to CBLReplication to detect this common mistake and return a very descriptive error immediately. I just filed an issue to remind us to do that.
