Hi,
I’m new to using ferret (and fairly new to ruby/rails) and I’m having a
problem I can’t fathom. Sorry for the long post …
I have a test which passes
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘ferret’
include Ferret
require ‘test/unit’
class CompanyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_index
puts ‘running test’
@index = Index::Index.new(:path => ‘…/tmp/search-index’)
@index << {:title => “prospecting”, :content => “blah blah blah”}
@index << {:title => “prospecting”, :content => “yada yada yada”}
@index.search_each(‘content:“blah”’) do |id, score|
#just assert true if we didn’t get an error … ferret
#seems to be working
assert true
end
end
end
which I think means that ferret is properly installed
When I search in my app I get this error
undefined method `exists?’ for {:term_vector=>:no, :store=>:no,
:boost=>1.0, :index=>:yes}:Hash

which looks to me as if acts_as_ferret is not finding the ferret index
In my model I have
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘ferret’
include Ferret
acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ‘name’, ‘comments’]
and in the controller
companies=Company.find_by_contents(params[:company_search_term])
I don’t see that aaf is building the index, which I think is where the
app is blowing up. My reading of the docs is that it should do. Did I
do something dumb, or is there a known issue with these versions that I
missed?
Many thanks for any help … this is driving me crazy …
