Get(doc CouchDoc, id string) didn't seem to return the couchdb document revision

[steffenrost]

Hi Mirco,
when I retrieve a document using the Get() method in database.go the revision information didn't seem to be set. I use GetRev() on the returned document but it just returns an empty string. Because of this a subsequent Put call using the same document (with an empty revision) fails with a document update conflict. Do I miss here something, can you perhaps provide an example for this use case?

Thanks in advance.

Can you show me some code?

Sure, last thing I tried was to explicitly set id/rev before doing the get and then do a subsequent put call which also returns me an update conflict error ... GetRev() and GetId() only returns a valid rev/id when I set both fields in DummyDocument explicitly.

type DummyDocument struct {
couchdb.Document
lib.Environment
}
...
doc := &DummyDocument{

	Document: couchdb.Document{
		ID:  "1d89d942a9635eb22142fcd8385bc8d3",
		Rev: "1-2f7940356a6c9e852f73409a40f0e47c",
	},

	Environment: lib.Environment{},
}

...
err = db.Get(doc, "1d89d942a9635eb22142fcd8385bc8d3")
t.Logf(" ... reading environment record with id: %v and rev: %v succeeded ...", doc.GetID(), doc.GetRev())
..
resp, err := db.Put(doc)

I found meanwhile what was causing the issue, problem was that I embedded the document containing id/rev into a document also defining these two fields. Sorry for the 'flurry', will close the issue.
