Couchdb 2.3 changed the purge_seq field in the DbInfo response to be a string. This now throws java.lang.NumberFormatException

[simon-temple]

Maybe need to add purge_seq getter on DbInfo class that returns seq as String

Here's the stack trace:

jvm 1 | com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "0-g1AAAABXeJzLYWBgYMpgTmEQTM4vTc5ISXLIyU9OzMnILy7JAUnlsQBJhgYg9R8IshIZ8KhNZEiqhyjKAgBm5Rxs"

Hi Simon, I discovered the same issue for myself with CouchDB 2.3.1 and lightcouch 0.2.0. Did you find a workaround or did you switch to another lib?

The lightcouch project seems pretty inactive ...

[lightcouch]

Hi,

fyi, a new release of lightcouch is rolling now for the compatibility with CouchDB 2.3

best regards

[chrisinmtown]

Will the new release be ready soon? I don't see any commits newer than 2017, am I blind?

[lightcouch]

Apologies. The owner of the project was na. A new release ships today.
Regards

Sorry, but I dont understand why you have deleted my comment.
I think that it is helpful for any one to know that there is a solution for this issue in another fork while you publish a new release with the fix.
Also, It could be helpfull for you as you can get the change from there if you whish.
