Some background, I’m evaluating CBL for a new mobile app and ran into some trouble with ForestDB. First of all, I should say that encryption is a must for us so ForestDB was our first look. We’re also using React-Native (so the REST API). I’ve modified react-native-couchbase-lite bindings to allow me to create an encrypted ForestDB (here: https://github.com/twistle/react-native-couchbase-lite). Disregarding encryption for the moment (since it’s not implemented in the REST API yet).
I added some basic data with _bulkDocs and verified that the data exists in the database. I did the same for a design document. When I queried the view, I got no results. The exact same code produced results when I switched off the ForestDB flag. There are several layers of projects on Github so I’m not sure which is the right one to file a bug under. Can someone guide me?
Hi, I am using react-native couchbase-lite too(by using this Component),and I am using forestdb as storageType(by changing the code of startCBLite() metohd). My view works fine.
What’s better about this approach is that I can use encryption as well (since it uses the native API). I know how to add it, I’ll probably fork the Upinion version though since it has iOS as well.
I’m getting this error. I think this was my original problem.

JsonMappingException: No serializer found for class org.mozilla.javascript.Undefined
Sounds like you emitted a JavaScript Undefined object as a key or value, or as part of one, and the Jackson library can’t serialize that to JSON (since Undefined is not the same as null.)
Since you don’t get this with a SQLite database, I’m guessing that the Java implementation’s SQLite storage code has a workaround for this, probably converting the Undefined to a null, but the ForestDB storage code doesn’t have the same workaround. (@hideki would know for sure.)
The workaround would be to avoid letting Undefined values be passed to emit() and use null instead.
It seems javascript’s undefined is mapped to[ Undfined class] (rhino/src/org/mozilla/javascript/Undefined.java at master · mozilla/rhino · GitHub). Then this class is not serializable by Jackson. JavaScript map function should not emit undefined as @jens wrote in previous comment. Or couchbase-lite-java-javascript should ignore emit with undefined or automatically convert to null.
