hi, try it this way: http://gist.github.com/501951 note the type annotations and the added req param include_docs=true for getAllDocs. the first error is created by ghci, since it dont know the specific type Database.CouchDB> :t runCouchDB' $ getDoc (db "test") (doc "xyz") runCouchDB' $ getDoc (db "test") (doc "xyz") :: (JSON a) => IO (Maybe (Doc, Rev, a)) but why doesnt it complain about the ambiguous type variable `a', like in `read "124"`? the addition of the include_docs=true request parameter really should be in the getAllDocs function itself. i'll fix this and put it in my own haskell-couchdb repo, as well as the simple bulk and attachment apis i implemented, stay tuned ;) have fun martin On 19.07.2010 19:08, Moritz Ulrich wrote:
Hello,
I'm currently learning Haskell and I want to write a small tool to collect some data in a CouchDB-Database Sadly, the Database.CouchDB module from hackage (and from git) seems broken. It looks like a bug deep in the JSON handling of the lib.
Some examples can be found in this gist: http://gist.github.com/475323 ('test' is a database with two simple documents, the doc with the id '8e9112011580882422393f6291000f7d' exists)
I filed an issue, but the maintainer hasn't responded in 5 days. Is there anything I missed?
Thanks in advance!
