Sorry for offtopic, but
@Marcello,
Why not to use black box testing instead of trying to mock every internal query
server global function? Using QS directly as black box you will have warranty
that your functions are tested well, because box is real, but you don't have to
know how it works. In your way you testing for your own, may miss some details
and output result could be different. This is not only about views that are not
so complex as show or list functions. By the way, applying your idea to other
functions I'll something weird for list function:
function(head, req, provides, registerType, getRow, send, start,
whatEverWillBeAddedInFuture){
...
}
Looks not much relaxing(: Certainly, Javascript allows to skip some function
arguments definition, but it still requires(?) them in right order.
And what about other query servers in this case? Currently, they are doing same
work as Javascript one or just trying to do, but not all of them could skip
arguments definition, has arguments vectors etc. This could create additional
problems with migration from one QS to another.

About subject, I couldn't say anything important about function(...){} vs
function name(...){} vs ... because I don't use Javascript query server, but in
Python I have to write real functions with their names - it works as nice
marker to find their crush in debug logs if it happens, so for me this is just
nice feature(:
P.S. Just a moment, what will happens with CoffeeScript in case of proposed
changes?

> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript View Server
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Jason Smith
>
> New SpiderMonkey releases do not eval() a sole anonymous function expression.
> That is not a valid JavaScript statement, and so it is not a valid JavaScript
> script.
> COUCHDB-1302 addressed this for 1.1 and the 1.1.x branch. This ticket is for
> 1.2. (Sorry to spam COUCHDB-1302. I saw "Unassigned" and read "Unresolved.")
