Cannot delete document because of update conflict
Deleting a doc which has other revisions is done:
curl -X DELETE http://couchhost:5984/couchdb/docid\?rev\=rev_number
This helped me when getting
{"error":"conflict","reason":"Document update conflict."}
First, since your code looks correct as is, check that your params are in fact being sent.
Otherwise, you should check if a revision is marked as deleted:
curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/kina/ \
04ce1239166b841ae8a317897ec45b11?revs_info=true
{
"_id":"04ce1239166b841ae8a317897ec45b11",
"_rev":"3-bc27b6930ca514527d8954c7c43e6a09",
"_revs_info":
[
{
"rev":"3-bc27b6930ca514527d8954c7c43e6a09",
"status":"available"
},
{
"rev":"2-eec205a9d413992850a6e32678485900",
"status":"deleted"
},
{
"rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d",
"status":"available"
}
]
}
To get rid of the deleted versions, you have to use _purge. For example:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/kina/_purge/ \
-H "content-type:application/json" \
-d ’{"7341477ce373f9cc76f351e598001cdd":
["2-5c7fb5dfeaf6f7cea149922fa1cdaf96"]
}’
{
"purge_seq":1,"purged":
{
"7341477ce373f9cc76f351e598001cdd":
["2-5c7fb5dfeaf6f7cea149922fa1cdaf96"]
}
}
