Exception while starting application using CouchDB

Question

Hi! I'm starting learning some about CouchDB by the Definiteve Guide. There is example - blog system Sofa. I'm downloading it, but when I try push it, I catch exception.2010-09-19 14:38:15 [CRITICAL] 'str' object has no attribute 'update'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\python\27\lib\site-packages\couchapp\dispatch.py", line 48, in dispatch
    return _dispatch(args)
  File "C:\Program Files\python\27\lib\site-packages\couchapp\dispatch.py", line 92, in _dispatch
    return fun(conf, conf.app_dir, *args, **opts)

    doc = self.doc(db, force=force)
  File "C:\Program Files\python\27\lib\site-packages\couchapp\localdoc.py", line 204, in doc
    self._doc['couchapp'].update({
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'update'

after all it, application started but in some strange way curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/sofa {"db_name":"sofa", "doc_count":0, "doc_del_count":0, "update_seq":0, "purge_seq":0, "compact_running":false, "disk_size":79, "instance_start_time":"1284892575508000", "disk_format_version":5}

Where I was wrong? Thanks.

Use "couchapp push .\sofa sofa" instead of "couchapp push . sofa"
