Adding a CouchDB view

Developers
1

Hello,

I am trying to add a custom CouchDB view in custom.m4change. The path looks
like this: custom/m4change/_design/views/mcct/map.js and the view works
fine in Futon and if I copy it to another module and run syncdb. The
problem I am facing right now is that the view is not added to CouchDB
after running syncdb, even though I have added 'm4change' to COUCHDB_APPS
in settings.py. I am not quite sure as to why this isn't working for me. Am
I missing something?

Thanks
Lech

In order for Django to recognize an app as a couchdb app, the module must
have a models.py file in it where at least one Class subclasses
couchdbkit's Document class. All over the codebase, there are models.py
files that look like this:
https://github.com/dimagi/commcare-hq/blob/master/custom/trialconnect/models.pyIf
you create a models.py file like that and put it in custom/m4change,
syncdb should now be able to detect custom.m4change and index it's views.

Thanks, that did the trick. The view is correctly created and indexed now.

Just a note that we're trying hard not to add new views if we don't have
to, what is the purpose of this view?

Hi,

this was for a particularly troublesome report, but I found a better way
around the problem that does not involve creating a new CouchDB view.
That said, it's good to know what is necessary to make it work in case it
is ever necessary.

Regards
Lech
