When I add a new channel for a pull replication, data for that channel is often not pulled to the client. Sometimes making a change to the original document seems to trigger a change, and then it’s pulled to the client - but not always. If all the documents do manage to fully replicate initially, …

Make sure you are running with the latest release of Sync Gateway or building from master, there was an issue in SG 1.0.2 that had symptoms similar to this. Andy

What exactly are you doing to add a new channel on the client?

When a user adds a new channel, I stop the replication, and create a new replication object. I have also tried, just stopping it, adding the channel, and starting the replication again. But that had similar issues. I wonder if my issue is anything to do with how I am doing user management (or not…

For the second one, I don’t think that is possible. The reason that Couchbase Lite will start midway through a replication is if the puller information matches a previous replication that has been created on the same database. Two replications will be considered equal if the all the following cond…

If I make a minor change to every document in the new channel, then all the documents instantly [sync] down. That’s consistent with the client replicator mistakenly not starting over from the beginning after you changed the channels. is it possible that a different lite client with the same use…

Thanks guys! Looking further into this, it appears that replication randomly stalls after I add a new channel. Once all the documents have been pulled, it appears to stop stalling. I know this is a BIG HACK, but I’ve managed to work around this by doing a few things after adding a new channel: D…

I’m not fully grasping what you mean by “stall”. Do you have a test case that you can share? If so, please file an issue on the Couchbase Lite .NET github page.
