CouchDB returns a 404 to nano

[FabriceCoffy]

Hello,

I'm trying to make it work locally, I hope I followed all the steps correctly, but when I try to create a new user online, when the application tests if the username is not yet taken, CouchDB returns a 404 to nano.

My version of CouchDB is 3.4.2

Request result :
scope: 'couch',
statusCode: 404,
request: {
method: 'get',
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/json',
accept: 'application/json',
'user-agent': 'nano/9.0.5 (Node.js v18.20.4)',
'Accept-Encoding': 'deflate, gzip'
},
qsStringifyOptions: { arrayFormat: 'repeat' },
url: 'http://XXXXXX:[email protected]:5984/auth-users/_design/views/_view/view-usernames',
params: { key: '"foo"' },

Nano error :
errid: 'non_200',
description: 'missing',
error: 'not_found',
reason: 'missing'

Maybe the get method?

Thank you for your time and this great app !

Some info about my CouchDB databases:

Looks like it's missing the couchDB view on auth-users which is needed to check for existing usernames:

{
  "_id": "_design/views",
  "views": {
    "view-usernames": {
      "map": "function (doc) {\n  emit(doc.key, Object.keys(doc.personalDBs));\n}"
    }
  },
  "language": "javascript"
}

Out of curiosity - what's your plan, just trying it out locally?

Thanks, yes that was the problem.

I'm trying to simplify the whole thing a bit for use on tablets and smartphone by autistic people.
