Query error message, nice to have

[nicktacular]

If you make a mistake in your query that's still valid JSON but it's not valid Mongo query syntax, it would be nice to get an error instead of thinking you're waiting a long time for data. For example, the following is invalid but a tired coder may not notice:

{Status:{$neq:"Published"}}

It would be nice to send back a message saying it's invalid syntax.

(What I really meant was {Status:{$ne:"Published"}}).

Agreed. In fact, it is giving you a useful message, you just can't see it :)

{"error":"exception: invalid operator: $neq","status":400}

Cool! I'll run it with Firebug moving forward :)

[bobthecow]

No, I'll fix it. I just haven't gotten around to handling all of these cases yet :P

[bobthecow]

This has been fixed in develop, and it'll go out in the next release. Thanks for reporting it :)

[nicktacular]

Thank you!

[bobthecow]

No problem.
