Set PATCH operation with empty array

[Korayem]

I am trying to PATCH an documents in an index with an empty array

[{Type: Set,Name: 'NewProperty',Value: {} }]

I am getting "Error": "System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Raven.Json.Linq.RavenJObject' to type 'Raven.Json.Linq.RavenJValue'.\

I also tried [{Type: Set,Name: 'NewProperty',Value: [] }]

Any ideas? do I have to patch using C# instead of API?

Can you try producing a full failing test?

Err...

You can just try it on RavenDb 701. Just curl a patch on ANY column setting its value to an array with either [] or {} and it won't work.

These two tests passes:

[Fact]

public void AddingEmptyArray()

{

var patchedDoc = new JsonPatcher(doc).Apply(

new[]

{

new PatchRequest

{

Type = PatchCommandType.Set,

Name = "NewProp",

Value = new RavenJArray()

}

});

Assert.Equal(@"{""title"":""A Blog Post"",""body"":""html markup"",""comments"":[{""author"":""ayende"",""text"":""good post 1""},{""author"":""ayende"",""text"":""good post 2""}],""NewProp"":[]}",

patchedDoc.ToString(Formatting.None));

}

[Fact]

public void AddingEmptyObject()

{

var patchedDoc = new JsonPatcher(doc).Apply(

new[]

{

new PatchRequest

{

Type = PatchCommandType.Set,

Name = "NewProp",

Value = new RavenJObject()

}

});

Assert.Equal(@"{""title"":""A Blog Post"",""body"":""html markup"",""comments"":[{""author"":""ayende"",""text"":""good post 1""},{""author"":""ayende"",""text"":""good post 2""}],""NewProp"":{}}",

patchedDoc.ToString(Formatting.None));

}

Can you try providing a failing test?

I was using fiddler for the matter to construct a PATCH request.

I will do it using C# code instead of an HTTP request.

Sorry for the trouble mate
