Subject: [jira] [Resolved] (COUCHDB-1096) HTTP DELETE method not working for
 documents in _users database

Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1096.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

This has been fixed in an earlier release but _users/_design/_auth is not automatically updated if present. Delete it and restart couch to get the latest version.

> Clicking on the "Delete Document" button when viewing a document in the _users database results in a popup that says "The document could not be deleted: doc.type must be user".  The log shows a DELETE request to the proper document URL (with rev) and a 403 error.  To determine if the problem was limited to Futon, I double checked with curl as follows:
> curl -X DELETE http://admin:password@localhost:5984/_users/org.couchdb.user:myusername?rev=3-24475d94a04d4518675303bb949e4e6b
> {"error":"forbidden","reason":"doc.type must be user"}
> It appears that the problem is that the _deleted document property isn't being set prior to the call to the validate function defined in couch_js_functions.hrl.
> The workaround for deleting a user document is to set "_deleted" : "true" on the doc.
