Ferret 0.11.3 - File Not Found

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

Hi,

I noticed a 0.11.3 release and gave it a whirl. I’ve so far not been
able to reproduce any segfaults with my ferret_killer[1] script, though
I do get some errors.

when the searching process is running and I start the indexing process,
I immediately get:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.3/lib/ferret/index.rb:692:in
`latest?': File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:93 in xraise
(FileNotFoundError)
Error occured in index.c:825 - sis_find_segments_file
couldn’t find segments file

when the indexing process is running and I start the searching process,
I immediately get one of the following:

Hope this is useful,

Hi John,

I should have told you about this already. It is actually a problem in
the ferret_killer script. You have :create set to true so both
processes will delete the index and create a new one. Obviously this
is not a good thing if one processes is writing to the index and
another comes along and deletes all the files. To prevent this from
happening, remove line 31;

:create => true)

After that, everything should work as expected.

Cheers,
Dave

lol, silly me. Ta Dave.

Though I’ve just discovered that the rails app that I extracted this
from is still segfaulting the searching process :confused:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.3/lib/ferret/index.rb:738: [BUG]
Segmentation fault

I’ll try and write another test to reproduce.

Thanks,

John.
