Creating DB with invalid name fails silently

[ghost]

Currently using an invalid name (it appears the CouchDB rules below are enforced) for a database fails silently, i.e. the TDDatabase returned is nil but the error property is not populated.

I'm using the following code to cteate the database, in my initial use case I used an email address for the DB name.

TDDatabase *myDb = [dbManager createDatabaseNamed:@"[email protected]" error:&error];

I think the expected behavior would be to return nil for the database and populate the error with a description of the supported naming format.

Naming and Addressing (from CouchDB wiki)
A database must be named with all lowercase letters (a-z), digits (0-9), or any of the _$()+-/ characters and must end with a slash in the URL. The name has to start with a lowercase letter (a-z).

Good point. The underlying call doesn't return an NSError, but the public method should create one in that case.

I ran into the same issue. I tried to debug by inspecting the NSError and got nothing. Thanks for posting this issue.
