CBL Lite - cant access _design/design/_view/view

[pasan mabotuwana]

I setup CBL lite and I can query (REST) the db to get for eg to get all documents by doing (localhost:port/dbName/_all_docs).

The question is when I try to query views for eg localhost:port/_design/employee/_view/by_username I get the following 

{"status":501,"error":"unimplemented"}

Can anyone help out to access views though a rest call

That's not a valid URL; it's missing the database name before _design. If you're having trouble, please copy/paste the exact URL. Also, what platform is this?

Oops, when posting made the mistake. sample url goes like - http://10.10.10.131:8080/testdb/_design/employee/_view/by_username

just to explain a bit on what Im trying to accomplish.  

There's a webapp that uses couchDB running on a pc, and i want to have the couchdb running on an ios device, so that the webapp can be ported to run on ios. 

Currently the replication process works fine and through the CBL listener I can perform basic operations like-

http://10.10.10.131:8080/testdb/all_docs?group=true&startkey="_design"&endkey="_design0"

http://10.10.10.131:8080/testdb/_changes etc.

but the moment I try to access a design/view, it says 501 unimplemented. 

Has anyone accessed design/view with couchbase lite through the cbl listener ?

 Oh, I see — are you trying to use a view implemented in JavaScript in a design document?

To do that you'll need to build in the JavaScript view support, whose source files are in the "Extras" folder. See the readme file in that folder for details.
