couchbeam:savedoc/2 doesn't work without couchbeam:start()

[DimitryDushkin]

So, my new programm is

db() ->
    st_utils:load_libraries(),
    application:start(sasl),
    application:start(ibrowse),
    application:start(couchbeam),
    Server = couchbeam:server_connection("localhost", 5984, "", []),
    {ok, Db} = couchbeam:open_or_create_db(Server, "site_stater", []),
    Doc = {[
            {<<"url">>, <<"http://sky2high.net">>}
            ]},
    {ok, DocResult} = couchbeam:save_doc(Db, Doc),
    io:format("~p", [DocResult]). 

but it gives the error:

** exception exit: {noproc,
                       {gen_server,call,
                           [couchbeam,
                            {get_uuids,{server,"localhost",5984,[],[]},1}]}}
     in function  gen_server:call/2
     in call from couchbeam:save_doc/3
     in call from st_site_checker:db/0

if I do not use couchbeam:start(), after application:start(couchbeam),.

I did something wrong (again %) ) or it just hasn't been mentioned in manual?

That's expected behaviour. Since couchbeam is an OTP application you have to start it. This is explained in getting started doc :)
