Order of operation error

[cboden]

In my bootstrap folder I'm creating a document in _replicator to replicate from one database setup via bootstrap to another database setup via bootstrap. It seems because _replicator comes first alphabetically it's parsed by couchdb-bootstrap first before the other databases are setup. This is causing the replication document created to fail.

The replicator document shows _replication_state is error and _replication_state_reason is

Couldn't open document _design/myddocname from source database models: {error,<<"not_found">>}

I either have to run setup twice or re-save the replicator document to fix the error.

Hi @cboden, a possible workaround could also be to add create_target:true to the replication document. That way the database will be created if needed. The CouchDB Bootstrap suite only creates the database if it does not exist.

I will have a look at #40. I see your point that system databases should be handled differently.

Unfortunately create_target: true did not work as my replication is filtered. The replicator is looking for the design doc in the source database that does not exist yet.

I see.
