Hi

I'm experiencing some strange behaviour with couchapp on node.js.

For example,  I receive a 'could not create' message, even though the app
is created?

$ couchapp boiler test3
Could not create /home/jason/CouchApps/test3
........................???????

And, so as to prove it, I can then push it to the db

$ couchapp push app.js http://127.0.0.1:5984/test3
Preparing.
Serializing.
PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/test3/_design/app
Finished push. 1-72b18a3b961a0f16fa9f988cb9c28da2

I've cloned Chris Anderson's 'sofa' blog app.

git clone git://github.com/jchris/sofa.git

But despite every which way I can think of I cannot get it to push to the
db.

I'm using

couchapp push app.js http://127.0.0.1:5984/[new empty db]

I've called this from the sofa, _attachment and script directories.
Nothing works.  Running from the /script directory this is the error:

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^
ReferenceError: $ is not defined
    at Object.<anonymous>

Pulling sofa into /usr/local and going through the same process of running
the command from the /script directory I get a different error.

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^

    at Function._load (module.js:310:12)
    at Array.0 (module.js:470:10)


Is this all a bit buggy, or am I making a horlicks of things?

Thanks

Jason
