hello All,

I am using thinking\_sphinx for search method , i am writing testing  
for it,  
but when i try to run it in test environment it gives me following error

D:\sarasaves\>rake thinking\_sphinx:index RAILS\_ENV=test  
(in D:/sarasaves)  
Generating Configuration to D:/sarasaves/config/test.sphinx.conf  
Sphinx 0.9.8-release (r1371)

using config file ‘D:/sarasaves/config/test.sphinx.conf’…  
FATAL: no sources found in config file.  
rake aborted!  
The following command failed:  
indexer --config D:/sarasaves/config/test.sphinx.conf --all

This could be caused by a PATH issue in the environment of  
cron/passenger/etc. Y  
our current PATH:  
c:\program files\imagemagick-6.4.8-q8;C:\Program  
Files\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.1\bi

You can set the path to your indexer and searchd binaries using the  
bin\_path pro  
perty in config/sphinx.yml:  
production:  
bin\_path: ‘/usr/local/bin’
