couchdb regex test

gistfile1.js

// fails in couchbase single server, you can test in Futon by pasting into Custom Test
couchTests.custom_test = function(debug) {
  var db = new CouchDB("test_suite_db", {"X-Couch-Full-Commit":"false"});
  db.deleteDb();
  db.createDb();

  if (debug) debugger;

  var testregexDoc = {
    _id: "_design/testregex",
    "shows" : {
        "exec" : "function(doc) {\
            var re = /test/; return re.exec('testing')[0];\
        }",
        "test" : "function(doc) {\
            var re = /test/; return String(re.test('testing'));\
        }"
    }
  };

  var save_response = db.save(testregexDoc);
  T(save_response.ok);

  var xhr = CouchDB.request("GET", "/test_suite_db/_design/testregex/_show/exec");
  T(xhr.responseText == "test");

  xhr = CouchDB.request("GET", "/test_suite_db/_design/testregex/_show/test");
  T(xhr.responseText == "true");
};

Is the couchdb community discussing this regex issue somewhere? i'd like to follow the progress.

I posted to the couchbase list but haven't heard anything yet.

Also posted on the issue tracker. http://www.couchbase.org/issues/browse/CB-83

It appears only regex literals are broken in couchbase, see: https://gist.github.com/1498086
