CB Lite 2.0 – Replication Error 400 Bad Request

Hi,

for reference: I already posted about this issue in the couchbase forums: https://forums.couchbase.com/t/cb-lite-2-0-replication-error-400-bad-request/14207

Some Basic Info:

• We are using Xamarin with .NET Standard Library (1.4).
• We are mainly building for a UWP project, but I checked Android and get the same error there.
• We are using CB-Lite 2.0 db016 // CB-Server 5.0.0 // Sync-Gateway 1.5
• The Server and Sync-Gateway-Setup is from the Travel-Sample 2.0 iOS Demo (http://docs.couchbase.com/tutorials/travel-sample-mobile.html?lesson=01-overview)
• The Setup works absolutely fine with the iOS-Swift-App and Python-Backend from the above documentation

The Problem: Well, the most obvious problem is that the sync is not working. When creating a new document via .NET, it is not pushed into the bucket. Also I put a document into the bucket via iOS-App/Python-Backend and it is not pulled (db.GetDocument returns null). When I break in “onReplicationCompleted” the “replicationEvent” also contains a LastError: LastError = {LiteCore.LiteCoreException: LiteCoreException (400): Bad Request}

Also the console in which the sync-gateway runs doesn’t even show a connection-request. When I connect via browser (http://our.couchbase.server.ip:4985/travel-sample/_all_docs?include_docs=true), iOS-Demo or Python-Backend it shows the existing document correctly and in the console of the running sync-gateway I see the connection-requests.

What I’ve tried:

• Using “walrus:” with a different bucket instead of the existing bucket on the cb-server
• With and without Channel (see code below)
• With and without User (see code below)
• Using PCL instead of .Net Standard
• Usind Shared Project instead of .Net Standard

Code in the “MainPage.xaml.cs” of the .NET Standard Library:

    public MainPage()
    {
        

        this.db = new Database("sync-db");

        Uri url = new Uri("ws://our.cb.server.ip:4984/travel-sample");
        var config = new ReplicatorConfiguration(db, url);
        config.Continuous = true;
        config.ReplicatorType = ReplicatorType.PushAndPull;
        config.Authenticator = new BasicAuthenticator("demo", "password");
        config.Options.Channels = new List<String>();
        config.Options.Channels.Add("channel.demo");

        this.replication = new Replicator(config);
        this.replication.StatusChanged += this.onReplicationCompleted;
        this.replication.Start();
        
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    void onReplicationCompleted(object sender, ReplicationStatusChangedEventArgs replicationEvent)
    {
        if (replicationEvent.Status.Activity == ReplicatorActivityLevel.Stopped)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Replication has completed.");
        }
    }

Sync Gateway Config: We are using the sync-config from the working iOS 2.0 sample: (source: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/mobile-travel-sample/blob/master/sync-gateway-config-travelsample.json)

@bdgza Same server-setup and same console-program. Just uninstall Nuget, clean and install db014. I think db015 also works for the console program. But if I remember correctly, that version had some Issues with our Xamarin setup.

Wanted to chip in on this again, but I see you already fixed it 😃

Awesome! Thanks Borrrden! Looking forward to be working with official CB-Releases again 😃
