[API 2] append/prepend does not work

The following code does not give expected results :


    <?php
    $var = 'crash__'.getmypid().'_'.time();

    $cluster = new CouchbaseCluster('couchbase://10.0.0.100','test','');
    $bucket = $cluster->openBucket('test');

    $bucket->insert($var,'Hello');
    $resp = $bucket->append($var,' World');
    var_dump($resp); // expecting a CAS ressource but got NULL instead
    $resp = $bucket->get($var);
    var_dump($resp->value); // expecting "Hello World" but got "Hello" instead

My guess is the line 111 in the libcouchbase file : src/operations/store.c :


   case LCB_APPEND:
    case LCB_PREPEND:
        if (cmd->exptime || cmd->flags) {
            return LCB_OPTIONS_CONFLICT;
        }
        break;

If flags is set then the function aborts. And the PHP library does send a flag.

I was able to workaround the bug by changing the encoder with the method $bucket->setTranscoder() and by providing a PHP function identical to the one provided in the php-couchbase sources in file stub/default_transcoder.php but for the fact that it sets the flag to 0.


The couchbase cluster i used for testing has only 1 node.
The server is Couchbase CE 3.0.1.

This was reproduced on 2 clients with different configurations :
