Ferret talk - Sep 2007 - undefined method error

Hi,
I''m running the trunk version with drb server. In my ferret_server.log
I
get a lot of messages like this:

#method_missing(:add, ["User", {:first_name=>"blah",
:comments=>nil,
:company=>"blah", :phone_day=>""}])


Over and over again.


But more importantly, since yesterday doing a search has caused an
exception:

A NoMethodError occurred in partners#user_search:

  undefined method `each'' for :sales_region:Symbol
  [RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/class_methods.rb:246:in
`retrieve_records''

Any idea what these could have been caused by?

Thanks,
Chris.

with aaf trunk you can raise the log level in ferret_server.yml so this 
debug message doesn''t appear any more:

production:
  log_level: warn

not yet - I can''t seem to find the line the error refers too - what
exact
revision are you on? Or could you try that with the latest trunk (rev.
247).

How do you use that symbol in your code?

Cheers,
Jens

Having looked at this again, this problem was introduced when I upgraded 
the version to the trunk and switched to the drb server.

I just used the trunk, how can I find out which revision it was now?

The error is caused by the following include:
@results = User.find_by_contents(@query, { 
:limit=>5000},:conditions=>"sales_regions.firm_id in 
(#{firm_id_string})",:include => :sales_region)

The code from aaf is here:
  def retrieve_records(id_arrays, find_options = {})
      result = []
      # get objects for each model
      id_arrays.each do |model, id_array|
        next if id_array.empty?
        begin
          model = model.constantize
        rescue
          raise "Please use '':store_class_name =>
true'' if you want to
use multi_search.\n#{$!}"
        end

        # check for include association that might only exist on some 
models in case of multi_search
        filtered_include_options = []
        if include_options = find_options[:include]
          include_options.each do |include_option|
            filtered_include_options << include_option if 
model.reflections.has_key?(include_option.is_a?(Hash) ? 
include_option.keys[0].to_sym : include_option.to_sym)
          end
        end

It''s the include_options.each do |include_option| causing the problem.

Thanks for your quick responses by the way, they are amazing.

Chris.

given the fact that this bug is fixed for more than a month now, I
suspect you still have an old version of the plugin somewhere...

Cheers,
Jens
