couchapp push gives [Errno 22] Invalid Argument

Question

I've just installed couchapp from the instructions and have gone through the Getting Started tutorial. When I run couchapp push I get an error like this:

    2012-06-23 14:05:08 [CRITICAL] unknown error [[Errno 22] Invalid argument]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/couchapp/dispatch.py", line 48, in dispatch

    raise RequestFailed("unknown error [%s]" % str(e))
RequestFailed: unknown error [[Errno 22] Invalid argument]

I'm on OS X 10.6.8, CouchDB is already setup with admins, and the .couchapprc file has the default db set as http://user:pass@localhost:5984/mydb. I've followed the instructions from couchapp.org for a Homebrew install. The only thing I can figure is that this is a Python-related problem, but I don't know Python and can't seem to figure out why this thing is failing. Any help tracking down this problem and fixing it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

When this happens to me it usually means SOMEWHERE....SOMEHOW, some JSON in the _doc folder is formatted badly, and it could be on a weird level. So like two _ids or a _rev where it shouldn't be.

Answer 2

I get the same problem and solved it, by downgrade to other version.

https://github.com/downloads/couchapp/couchapp/couchapp-0.8.1-macosx.zip

Seems the best solution, for now.
