Fauxton only works went mounted to url "/",.

[KpjComp]

I'm using Fauxton with Express, and when mounted say at url "/db".. everything fails..

Expected Behavior

When mounted at say '/db', request should be '/db/_session',..

Current Behavior

Instead of say requests like -> '/db/_session', the console is showing requests like -> '/_session'

Possible Solution

Make the fauxton route path configurable.

code like ->

    return window.location.origin + '/' + app.utils.safeURLName(database);

This is assuming we have everything running at '/'..

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Run Fauxton from a route like "/db"

Context

I'm trying to make an express app, that can host website, and fauxton etc. Assuming everything is @ "/" is not ideal. So a request say for session would be '/db/_session'

Your Environment

Node
Windows

Any guide how to properly solve this problem?

[popojargo]

I'll look into this this weekend

[popojargo]

@garrensmith or @Antonio-Maranhao, some urls are registered as apiurl and other as server (we call this one to access couch). We use the apiurl for the raw json query.

As I am in the process to review the routes, I would like to replace apiurl with server url. Do you have any objections?

This way, we could simply control the base url in the settings.json 🎉

It would be great if Fauxton can determine where it's hosted automatically. Imagine hosting CouchDB behind a reverse proxy that places all URLs under /db/ or something. You won't be able to edit settings.json in this situation as CouchDB might be deployed from packages or in a docker container.

[popojargo]

By default, it would use relative path. For example, if you access Fauxton from /db/_utils, the resolved host would be /db

[garrensmith]

Making Fauxton use a relative path would be awesome but don't replace apiurl. The apiurl is used for the little json button on the top right so that a user can see the api endpoint.

@garrensmith But does that have to be hard-coded at compile time, or can it be dynamically calculated based on runtime information? If the latter I'm all thumbs up :)

[garrensmith]

It can be calculated dynamically. We can just look at window.location for the info

Yeah, basically, I calculate the absolute urls with the window.location.href and the relative url. PR should be landing today or tomorrow.

[VladimirCores]

Great! Will this change be included in a snapshot installed from apt-get?

[wohali]

It will be included in the next point release of CouchDB (2.2.0) in the official packages.

[h0jeZvgoxFepBQ2C]

Is the old Futon GUI still available in CouchDB2 somehow? We can't upgrade due to this bug unfortunately.

[wohali]

@lichtamberg No, Futon is no longer supported. Recommend you wait until 2.2.0.

[h0jeZvgoxFepBQ2C]

Thanks for your feedback, is there an ETA when the 2.2.0 will be finished? There are still some bugs open, so I don't know whow long it will take for it to get released?

[popojargo]

Closing this since it has been fixed with #1078.

[popojargo]

@lichtamberg @DQvsRA Any chance you can test the RC for CouchDB 2.2 and see if it works as expected?

[h0jeZvgoxFepBQ2C]

I would love to, but I'm not sure how to install it? I'm just using the normal debian package?

[popojargo]

@lichtamberg you'll need to build from source

[ceremcem]

When will it be available for downloading via package managers?

[popojargo]

@ceremcem When CouchDB 2.2.0 RC3 will be accepted. Test of this release candidate would be appreciated !
