wsk package list fails with internal error

[g12megha]

The same error happens even when i try to list actions in a namespace.

Local deployment? Likely you didn't deploy the couchdb views if so. You can use wskadmin db get whisks to confirm the design doc is installed.

[g12megha]

yes it is local deployment. Also i m able to create an action running the command wsk action create .. Should this work if couchdb views are not installed??

[rabbah]

Yes. List will fail. Everything else will work.

I tried running the command wskadmin db get whisks, it does return a bunch of documents : Here is a sample result root@****:~# wsk action list error: Unable to obtain the list of actions for namespace 'guest': There was an internal server error. (code 146) root@***:~# root@****:~# wskadmin db get whisks getting contents for ****_mo-****_whisks (primary index) { "offset": 0, "rows": [ { "id": "_design/whisks", "key": "_design/whisks", "value": { "rev": "1-519a71338899309c424c45f26501ac61" } }, { "id": "guest/5c3978bfd9154d76a64da41efab7876d", "key": "guest/5c3978bfd9154d76a64da41efab7876d", "value": { "rev": "1-86fa328be199eda938779188ff8079b7" } }, { "id": "guest/ae3f42f5e3e14a10936c05b75d3b56f9", "key": "guest/ae3f42f5e3e14a10936c05b75d3b56f9", "value": { "rev": "1-beb24a0b6d3e28b407901613aff1a8e5" } }, { "id": "whisk.system/combinators", "key": "whisk.system/combinators",

from design docs, did u mean doc with id = _design/whisks ? i see it is there in the result.

[rabbah]

did you setup couchdb yourself or use the playbooks?

try this: wskadmin syslog get 146 controller and paste the output.

FYI, we are using external couchdb running on a VM and not an internal couchdb running on a container .

[rabbah]

When the view is working correctly, you should be able to list documents this way wskadmin db get -v whisks/actions whisks

My suspicion is that your couchdb is not configured as required (see this issue https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk/issues/693 and confirm you've enabled this).

fixing the limit on views of couchdb has resolved the issue. Thanks !
