sed: 1: "db.json": extra characters at the end of d command on macos 10.10 about couchdb-dump HOT 5 CLOSED

I replaced all sed -i instances with sed -i '' and it worked like a charm.

Interesting! I've been struggling for time to test this and probably won't get around to it until next week (though I do at least have a Mac now); feel free to raise a pull request in the meantime :)

Yep, having the same issue on OSX El Capitan. Will use @chatzipan's pull request until it's merged.

Just came accross this issue, which lead to the following error in linux:

$ ./couchdb-backup.sh -b -H 172.17.0.3 -P 5984 -d mydb -f mydb_dump.json

Stage failed.

This is because the linux sed implemenation differ from osx, it expect sed -i or sed -isomething but not sed -i something.
Same issue mentionned in #40.

Here is a pull request #41 in order to fix this issue and pass the right sed -i according to the os type.
