[ckan-dev] Datastore setup testing...

[Dominik Moritz]

Hey Steve, 

yes, we had a long discussion about this and decided that we need to change some things fundamentally. You can find some of our results at https://github.com/okfn/ckan/wiki/Spec:-DataStore-and-FileStore-Consolidation. However, we didn't have the time to build this into 2.0 but it's a priority for CKAN 2.1. So, stay tuned ;-)

At the moment, you will need to make a resource at least with a fake url (like www.example.com).

Best wishes,
Dominik

I was able to get it to work by adding a resource (a CSV file) to a dataset and then grabbing that id from the database tables. But now you end up with this weird combination of a uploaded file and this newly created datastore table. I guess  if one could create an "empty" resource and then populate it or if datastore_create referenced a dataset then it would make more sense. Back to the docs...

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.

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:
>>

>> 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!
