Question

Using Cradle 5.5 and NodeJS 0.4.8, I can’t seem to get a connection to work. I’ve successfully used RESTLER, but I can’t seem to configure cradle. I’d like to take advantage of the caching aspects of Cradle.

I’ve tried both my Cloudant Account and a normal, admin party CouchDB database, both with the same results.

Admin Party Database:

var conn1 = new (cradle.Connection)("XX.XX.XXX.XXX", 5984);

Cloudant:

var account = {
    username: "user", 
    password: "pwd"
};
var conn = new (cradle.Connection)("user.cloudant.com", 443, {
    secure: true,
    auth: account
});

I’ve tried all combinations, nothing seems to get me anything other than undefined when I do things like console.log(conn.config()); or console.log(conn.databases());

Any ideas on what might be causing this? I am starting to think it might be the versions of Cradle/NodeJS, but I can’t seem to find a reference to them to not working together anywhere.

UPDATE: Still having issues, but I changed the code a bit to see if I could pinpoint the problem.

cradle.setup({host:'username.cloudant.com', port: 443,
                auth: { username: 'username', password: 'password'},
                options: {secure: true, cache: true, raw: false}
});

c = new(cradle.Connection)().config();

console.log(c);

console.log(cradle);

My output is the following:

undefined

{ extend: [Function],

  Response: [Function: Response],

  Cache: [Function],

  host: 'username.cloudant.com',

  port: 443,

  auth: { username: 'username', password: 'password' },

  options: 

   { cache: true,

     raw: false,

     timeout: 0,

     secure: false,

     headers: {},

     host: 'username.cloudant.com',

     port: 443,

     auth: { username: 'username', password: 'password' },

     options: { secure: true, cache: true, raw: false } },

  setup: [Function],

  Connection: [Function: Connection],

  merge: [Function] }

I’m incredibly stumped-anyone else at least experienced this before?

Answer 1

This is working for me

Cradle: 0.5.5
Node: 0.5.0-pre

var cradle = require('cradle'),
    db;


db = new (cradle.Connection)("duncanm.cloudant.com", {auth:{username:"duncanm", password:"xxxxx"}}).database();

edit: connects, but I cant do anything.. this post has some useful information in it:
Connect to Cloudant CouchDB with Node.js?
