Sync Gateway does not import pre-existing documents

Hi,

I’m trying to configure Sync Gateway to import existing document from my bucket but nothing is happening.
I’ve downloaded the latest sources for sync gateway from git and compiled an executable for windows.

This is my configuration file:

“log”:[“REST”],
“databases”:{
“beer”:{
“server”:“http://localhost:8091”,
“bucket”:“beer-sample”,
“importDocs”: true,
“sync”:function(doc) {channel(["public", "any"]);}
}
}

Here is the output when I start the sync gatway:

C:sync_server>sync_gateway.exe -verbose config.json

After starting the Sync Gateway I open documents in Couchbase Console and documents are not modified and there is no _sync property.

Thanks in advance,
Yuzkan

Hi there, this is a known limitation that we are currently working on (http://docs.couchbase.com/sync-gateway/#limitations). Ongoing progress has been checked in and is available in the latest development branch (i.e., master), and some initial documentation on this first phase of work available here: https://github.com/couchbase/sync_gateway/wiki/Bucket-Shadowing

Hi,

thanks for the quick response. I know about these limitations and I downloaded the latest from git because I saw it has already been implemented:

I’ve put importDocs property in my configuration and I can see things happening in the log:

2014/01/09 13:38:50 Go-Couchbase: Call to ViewCustom(“sync_housekeeping”, “import”) took 471.027ms

But still it seems nothing is happening.

Hi — please file an issue in the sync_gateway Github repo, including all the relevant info (as above). Thanks.

I opened a ticket and got a replay. The importDocs option has been recently renamed in the repository to import_docs. Now it works fine.

Thanks.
