Failed to save changes

Hmm, I can't get anything to work with the free download.

I create a domain, open it, add a new Attribute named COL1.  Click save changes:

Failed to save changes

HTTP Status Code: BadRequest

SimpleDB error code: MissingParameter

Unknown

Is this an error on my end?  VS 2008 SP1 is the runtime.

This most likely means you have not supplied an ID.  All SimpleDB items must have an ID (aka ItemName).  If you look below where it says "SimpleDB error type: Unknown" there should be a sentence saying "The request must contain the parameter XXX."  If XXX is ItemName then a missing ID is indeed the problem.

One thing to watch out for is that SimpleDB Management Tools does not commit edits until you leave the cell.  So if you did assign a value to Id, try clicking in the query box before choosing Save Changes.

Strange, when I loaded it just now to look the entries were all actually uploaded (there was an ID in each).  Not sure why it was giving me that error, when it did actually work - I just couldn't see them locally.

So I went and created a new domain "test2".  Right click Open.

I see an ID column

Added new Attribute "newcol" (did not click save)

Put in 3 rows of data:

ID - newcol

1 test

2 test2

3 test3

Hit save changes.  The two columns are still there, but no data (looks blank).

When I go to close the tab in VS in tells me there are unsaved changes, do I want to save.  I hit save changes and get an error "The request must contain the parameter ItemName".  The dialog is already gone at this point.  I hit OK (only choice) and it appears to go away.

But now reopening test2 I see nothing, only an ID column.

This one shows an error when saving.

A different screencasts showing different behavior (save changes doesn't appear to accept the last row when I tab from entry to entry).  I was trying to capture the above and ran into a different behavior here.
