PouchDB ^6.4.3 - Database location or iosDatabaseLocation setting is now mandatory in openDatabase call

[CarlosAyala]

Hi.

I have this issue when run this library in Android

Database location or iosDatabaseLocation setting is now mandatory in openDatabase call

My code:

this._DB = new PouchDB('curriculum.db', { adapter: 'cordova-sqlite' });

If I change my code for fix this issue to

this._DB = new PouchDB('curriculum.db', { adapter: 'cordova-sqlite', iosDatabaseLocation: 'Library', androidDatabaseImplementation: 2 });
the next error is shown

{
adapter: string,
iosDatabaseLocation: string,
androidDatabaseImplementation: number
} is not assignable to parameter of type 'DatabaseConfiguration'

I had the same error. Doing this worked for me.

{ 
    adapter: 'cordova-sqlite',
    location: 'default',
    androidDatabaseImplementation: 2
}

Hi @darshantejani007 .

How do you fixed this issue? I used your code with no luck, still showing me the same error:

{ adapter: string, location: string, androidDatabaseImplementation: number } is not assignable to parameter of type 'DatabaseConfiguration

this._DB =( new PouchDB as any)('curriculum.db', {
adapter: 'cordova-sqlite',
location: 'default',
androidDatabaseImplementation: 2
});

I'm hitting this problem also. I've tried updating my config as above (and tried things like 'name'):

this.caseDb = (new PouchDB as any)(
          'cases.db', 
          {
            name: 'cases.db',
            adapter: 'cordova-sqlite',    
            location: 'default',         
            iosDatabaseLocation: 'default',
            androidDatabaseImplementation: 2,            
            revs_limit: 1, 
            auto_compaction: true
          }
        );

Unfortunately, the error then changes to:

ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Missing/invalid DB name
Error: Missing/invalid DB name
at new PouchDB (http://localhost/vendor.js:145165:11)
at http://localhost/main.js:1890:33

Anyone got this to work recently? (am using in an Ionic4/Angular/Capacitor context)

The method signature above ("this.caseDb = (new PouchDB as any)(..." doesn't work, but this does:

this.caseDb = new PouchDB(
          'cases.db', 
          {
            adapter: 'cordova-sqlite',    
            location: 'default',         
            iosDatabaseLocation: 'default',
            androidDatabaseImplementation: 2,            
            revs_limit: 1, 
            auto_compaction: true
          }
        );

But only compiles in an angular project with custom type definitions. I've submitted a PR to add a type for this project:

DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#36395

In the mean time, I should be able to run with that type manually dropped into my project (the index.d.ts file).
