it's not failing for you when you run changes.js with the CLI ? Fails for me
every time.
Anyway I poked at this a bit yesterday and am not 100% sure the issue is in the
test. I tried putting a sleep in with no luck. If my understanding of the JS is
correct, CouchDB is supposed to be synchronous so it's not timing.
If someone could comment on the test itself it would be helpful. The section of
the code that fails:
// changes get all_docs style with deleted docs
var doc = {a:1};
db.save(doc);
db.deleteDoc(doc);
var req = CouchDB.request("GET",
"/test_suite_db/_changes?filter=changes_filter/bop&style=all_docs");
var resp = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
TEquals(3, resp.results.length, "should return matching rows");
seems odd to me. all_docs as I read the code will return docs with deletes and
conflicts but in this call the filter bop will not apply to the doc {a:1} so
I'm not sure what this delete prior to the call is about. Anyway I can make it
fail in the debugger so perhaps I can find the root cause.
