garbados opened a new issue #1101: Mango queries with `conflicts: true` return documents that do not have conflicts URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1101 <!--- Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above --> Queries to the `/{db}/_find` endpoint that set `conflicts: true` return documents that do not include conflicts. I have documented a test case [here](https://gist.github.com/garbados/335bc7c1836cbf726a6b511d6c0fa418) that reproduces the issue. The documentation in [cloudant/mango]() indicates that this is expected behavior: > conflicts (optional) (default: false) - boolean, whether or not to include information about any existing conflicts for the document. However, it sure would be nice to issue queries that return *only* conflicted documents that match the given selector. ## Expected Behavior <!--- If you're describing a bug, tell us what should happen --> <!--- If you're suggesting a change/improvement, tell us how it should work --> A query setting should exist to filter query results to only those that have conflicted and match the given selector. ## Current Behavior <!--- If describing a bug, tell us what happens instead of the expected behavior --> <!--- If suggesting a change/improvement, explain the difference from current behavior --> Setting `conflicts: true` returns documents with and without conflicts, such that the user must perform a second query to `/_all_docs` to determine which documents actually have conflicts. ## Possible Solution <!--- Not obligatory, but suggest a fix/reason for the bug, --> <!--- or ideas how to implement the addition or change --> Setting `onlyConflicts` or otherwise-named query value should cause CouchDB to filter results of a query to only those documents that match a given selector *and* which have conflicts. ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs) <!--- Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to --> <!--- reproduce this bug. Include code to reproduce, if relevant --> I've developed a test case [here](https://gist.github.com/garbados/335bc7c1836cbf726a6b511d6c0fa418) using node.js. ## Context <!--- How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish? --> <!--- Providing context helps us come up with a solution that is most useful in the real world --> Detecting conflicts requires finding them first. In large databases, performing one query to find documents that may have conflicts and then another to determine which of them actually do creates considerable request overhead for applications attempting to detect or resolve conflicts proactively. ## Your Environment <!--- Include as many relevant details about the environment you experienced the bug in --> * Version used: 2.1.1-180a155 * Browser Name and version: N/A * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS * Link to your project: [gist](https://gist.github.com/garbados/335bc7c1836cbf726a6b511d6c0fa418)
