The holiday season gave me some time to get back to trying to make CouchDB and Cappuccino play nice. Here are some repro steps:
1) Download the starter kit http://download.cappuccino.org/CappuccinoStarter-0.6.zip 2) Unzip and cd into the NewApplication directory 3) Copy the entire Frameworks directory to /usr/local/share/couchdb/www (this will make the framework files available from http://localhost:5984/_utils/Frameworks) 4) Edit index-debug.html Replace 'OBJJ_INCLUDE_PATHS = ["Frameworks/Debug", "Frameworks", "SomethingElse"];' with 'OBJJ_INCLUDE_PATHS = ["Frameworks/Debug", "Frameworks", "http://localhost:5984/_utils/Frameworks";];' Replace '<script src = "Frameworks/Debug/Objective-J/Objective-J.js" type = "text/javascript"></script>' with '<script src = "http://localhost:5984/_utils/Frameworks/Debug/Objective-J/Objective-J.js"; type = "text/javascript"></script>' Replace '<img src = "Frameworks/AppKit/Resources/CPProgressIndicator/CPProgressIndicatorSpinningStyleRegular.gif" style="left: -32px; position: relative; top: -32px;" />' with '<img src = "http://localhost:5984/_utils/Frameworks/AppKit/Resources/CPProgressIndicator/CPProgressIndicatorSpinningStyleRegular.gif"; style="left: -32px; position: relative; top: -32px;" />' 5) Create a new CouchDB database called 'helloworld' 6) Create a new document called '_design/helloworld' 7) Upload all the files as attachments to the '_design/helloworld' document AppController.j index-debug.html (with edits) index.html Info.plist main.j 8) Browse to http://localhost:5984/helloworld/_design%2Fhelloworld/index-debug.html in Firefox+Firebug You will see an error in firebug on line 1090 of Objective-J.js, however setting a breakpoint on this line does not reveal the issue. I feel like I am very close to consummating this marriage. Is there anything on the CouchDB side of things that could be causing this failure? -Justin Walgran On Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 4:09 PM, Justin Walgran <[email protected]> wrote: > That is incredibly helpful.
