[ckan-dev] Datastore setup testing...

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

Hi all: We're just getting going with CKAN but are running into issues getting the datastore setup. Everything seems to go fine with the install (CKAN version 2.1a, local PostgreSQL database) but testing the setup isn't working as expected as described here http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/datastore-setup.html#test-the-set-up. Specifically the datastore_create test... Issuing the following:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:80/api/3/action/datastore_create -H "Authorization: valid-API-key" -d '{"resource_id": "test", "fields": [ {"id": "a"}, {"id": "b"} ], "records": [ { "a": 1, "b": "xyz"}, {"a": 2, "b": "zzz"} ]}'

returns the following JSON:

{"help": "...removed for brevity...", "success": false, "error": {"message": "Not found: Resource \"test\" was not found.", "__type": "Not Found Error"}}

I've not found any reference to this error message in the docs or in the list archives. It doesn't really make sense since the call should create the resource. Any ideas what might cause this? Any guidance appreciated!
