Jason Davies updated COUCHDB-410:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
For example, if I create validate_doc_update:

function (oldDoc, newDoc, userCtx) {
  doc.foo;
}

I am greeted by an "OS process timed out" message.  In the logs, all I see is:

OS Process :: Error converting object to JSON: TypeError: {Array:function (v) 
{var buf = [];for (var i = 0; i < v.length; i++) 
{buf.push(toJSON(v[i]));}return "[" + buf.join(",") + "]";}, Boolean:function 
(v) {return v.toString();}, Date:function (v) {var f = function (n) {return n < 
10 ? "0" + n : n;};return "\"" + v.getUTCFullYear() + "-" + f(v.getUTCMonth() + 
1) + "-" + f(v.getUTCDate()) + "T" + f(v.getUTCHours()) + ":" + 
f(v.getUTCMinutes()) + ":" + f(v.getUTCSeconds()) + "Z\"";}, Number:function 
(v) {return isFinite(v) ? v.toString() : "null";}, Object:function (v) {if (v 
=== null) {return "null";}var buf = [];for (var k in v) {if 
(!v.hasOwnProperty(k) || typeof k !== "string" || v[k] === undefined) 
{continue;}buf.push(toJSON(k, val) + ": " + toJSON(v[k]));}return "{" + 
buf.join(",") + "}";}, String:function (v) {if (/["\\\x00-\x1f]/.test(v)) {v = 
v.replace(/([\x00-\x1f\\"])/g, function (a, b) {var c = subs[b];if (c) {return 
c;}c = b.charCodeAt();return "\\u00" + Math.floor(c / 16).toString(16) + (c % 
16).toString(16);});}return "\"" + v + "\"";}}[val != null ? 
val.constructor.name : "Object"] is not a function

When really the problem is a ReferenceError (I should have used newDoc.foo or 
oldDoc.foo).  The attached patch modifies toJSON() in utils.js so that it 
converts anything that isn't a String, Array, Date, Object etc. into a String.  
This makes the error appear in the popup in Futon when saving.

This isn't necessarily the best thing to do as it modifies the semantics of 
toJSON(), and also we might want to keep the exception info in the logs, and 
not propagate it to the user.  Perhaps it would be better to modify 
respond(obj) to produce a better error message in the logs (simply adding 
something that tried to log obj.toString() would suffice).

Clarified what the error is in my example.
