[ckan-dev] Datastore setup testing...

Thanks Dominik. It's definitely not clear if you have to create something via the portal first or what exactly you have to create.

Hi Steve,

If you look at the docs for datastore_create, you will find that it says that the resource_id has to be a "resource id that the data is going to be stored against". So you'll first need a ckan resource. You are right that the set-up docs are not explicit about this and I'll write something for this. Thank you for your feedback.

Best wishes,
Dominik

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 herehttp://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!
