Question

I am trying to search in couchDb using temporary view in futon.

The view code is like this:

function(doc)
 {
  if(doc.Time Zone.value == "America/Los_Angeles")
  { 
   emit([doc.owner, doc.source], null); 
  }
 }

But when I try to sun this view, it give the following error:
Error: compilation_error

Expression does not eval to a function. ((new String(“function(doc) { if(doc.Time Zone.value == \”America/Los_Angeles\”) { emit([doc.owner, doc.source], null); } }”)))

I think this is because of a space in doc.Time Zone. If a remove this space it compiles but didn’t give any values. Compiler dont want this empty space.

Please help me.

Answer 1

This is because the way you access your document’s Time Zone field is invalid.

The proper way to access that field would be

doc['Time Zone'].value

It is a basic JavaScript issue you’re facing.
