OS process timed out.

[mikeal]

I can't seem to get this working.

I'm on SmartOS. Keep getting this all over my couch log:

[Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:21:21 GMT] [error] [<0.867.0>] OS Process Error <0.891.0> :: {os_process_error, "OS process timed out."} [Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:21:25 GMT] [error] [<0.842.0>] OS Process Error <0.897.0> :: {os_process_error, "OS process timed out."}

Hello. I have the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 (node.js 0.10.29). Top shows that processes with couchjs are restarting all the time, when I try run some view. May be exist some solutions? I find nothing about this in google. Thanks.

Thanks. Does the test suite run?

In cli.js I added (a move will probably do)

process.stdin.resume()

at line 60 such that block of code looks like:

process.stdin.resume()
process.stdin.setEncoding('utf8')
process.stdin.pipe(stdin)
process.stdin.resume()

The clue was in creating the log file in /tmp (touch /tmp/couchjs.log) which collected a message similar to "Error: Cannot switch to old mode now."

Oh, thanks!

@JKDingwall I am not 100% sure I see where you added that code? Would you mind making a PR, or just a link to the source you are referring to would be sufficient.

I am looking at line 60 here: https://github.com/iriscouch/couchjs/blob/master/cli.js#L60

(Another problem that I often have is that I push lots of code to GitHub and forget to npm publish. Might that be it?)

[JKDingwall]

From my npm install -g couchjs I seem to have got a version of cli.js at 5a438debb0a8aec7ed67dd52c751623247651cda but that does not include process.stdin.resume() at all so I'm not sure where that came from. I will try an install of couchjs with npm install <git:// url> and report my experiences against that.

[jhs]

Thank you very much. I am eager to hear your results.

The same error for me, I did a fresh

sudo npm -g install git://github.com/iriscouch/couchjs

on a Linux machine, Ubuntu 15.10 with CouchDB 1.6.0, got another cli.js without resume() at line 62 but nodejs views are still crashing the server:
