Invalid top-level key '_removed' in document to be inserted

Mobile

Hello,

With couchbase-lite for android on pull I’m getting an error " Invalid top-level key ‘_removed’ in document to be inserted".
And everytime I start a new pull I keep getting this error for the same revision ID.

Is that a bug with couchbase-lite for android or should I look at something else?

Thanks,
Yuzkan

Thanks, I’ll check why/how “_removed” is being set.

I did reset the DB on the device and tried to pull everything once again. I still get that error and also I see the following error:

[WARN] : Sync: com.couchbase.lite.replicator.Replication$8@b6f0b670: Database is null, ignoring remote checkpoint response [ERROR] : RemoteRequest: Got error status: 409 for org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPut@b6ee79e0.

It sounds like somebody meant to add “_deleted” to the document, and accidentally added “_removed” instead.

It is correct behavior for Couchbase Lite to complain about this invalid top level key, since “_removed” is not in the list of valid top level keys ("_id", “_rev”, “_deleted”).

I will double check if this should be an exception or just be a warning, but I think the correct fix is to rename the field in your database.

On further investigation, it appears to be a bug in couchbase lite android:

Thanks so much for reporting this!
