Interestingly, this works fine for me when I clone the repo. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, and it works perfectly in both Chrome and FF. What spec are you running?

Also, can you do ampify.store('dumbCollection_dumber') in the console, and have a look at the results? If there are three similar objects, can you open one up and paste it in here? If there are more (or less) than three then that's more interesting.

Thanks

Ah, I'd assumed it would fail on your machine so I didn't provide as much detail as I should have. My specs:

• OS X Yosemite
• Original failure in Chrome; verified failed in Firefox / Safari

Here are the contents of localStorage. Only three items:

__amplify__dumbCollection_dumber: "{"data":[{"name":"foo","_id":{"_str":"544939d0f1f4e10000e55db6"}},{"name":"bar","_id":{"_str":"544939d0f1f4e10000e55db7"}},{"name":"baz","_id":{"_str":"544939d0f1f4e10000e55db8"}}],"expires":null}"

Let me know what you think, or if you need more info.

Suddenly it is working on my machine. It was consistently failing across multiple DBs and multiple browsers and I haven't changed anything per se.

I will investigate in more detail tonight, but please don't waste any more time until I can reliably reproduce the problem again.

Interesting. It looks like the _id was being stored as an _str in localStorage rather than a string primitive, which I'm sure is why the error was being thrown. However, I don't know if this is an OSX thing or more general, so I'll have to do a bit more research. I also have no idea why it suddenly works!
