ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in search results act_as Ferret

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

Hello,

I’ve installed the Ferret gem and also got the act_as_ferret code from
the wiki.
I’ve set up my model “Branch” to act as ferret using the code below.

acts_as_ferret :options => {:fields => [‘name’, ‘body_text’, ‘address’]}

I’ve also set up a ferret_controller with the code below

def find
if params[:search_terms]
@branch_results = Branch.find_by_contents(params[:search_terms])
render_text @branch_results.inspect
end
end

I’ve done some updates and the index files seem to be being generated
ok.
If I go to mywebapp/ferret/find?search_terms=gamston where “gamston” is
the name of one of the branches I get

— []

as the result.
If I go to mywebapp/ferret/find?search_terms=* I get

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in Ferret#find
Couldn’t find Branch with ID=5

There are no Branches with an ID of 5. Does anyone have any ideas whats
going on with my system. I tried my best to trouble shoot the issue but
to no avail.

Any help is appreciated.

I’d say that must read
acts_as_ferret :fields => [‘name’, ‘body_text’, ‘address’]

What Version of acts_as_ferret are you using ?

You should really use the one from the svn repository as described
there: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/
The plugin repository is
svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin/acts_as_ferret

Kasper W. and me are actively working on the plugin there, the Code
in the Wiki is more or less outdated. There also is a small rails
project
utilizing the plugin, under
svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/demo

Thanks Jens,
I’m having a lot of difficulty connecting to the svn because of our
firewall. Are there any other ways in which the files can be downloaded.

Thanks

I attached an archive containing the current trunk to the wiki front
page at http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki .

Ignore that, I’ve worked it out now.
