Filtered replication not working (pull from Cloudant)

[adamski]

I'm trying to setup a pull replication from a Cloudant db to local. If I remove the filter it does start to sync the (rather large) dataset. However with the filter I get no data.

The design document id is _design/words and the filter function looks like:

  "filters": {
    "by_category": "function(doc, req) { return doc.category == req.query.category }"
  }

I'm calling post_replicate like this

      wordStore.manager.server.post_replicate({
        body: {
          source: databaseConstants.remoteURL, 
          target: databaseConstants.dbName, 
          continuous: true,
          // selector: {    // selector is preferred in Cloudant
          //   category: 'free'
          // },
          filter: "words/by_category",
          query_params: { "category": "free" }
        }
      })

I've created a similar view which works but a) I don't think you can replicate from a view and b) filters are a lot more flexible and simpler to write.

I also tried using Cloudant's selector property but assume that is not supported in this API?

I have checked this replication works via curl (to another Cloudant db), and it replicates as expected.

This seems like it might be an issue with couchbase-lite-ios rather than this module. I've posted an issue there.
