Ferret talk - Feb 2007 - rebuild_index is returning {}

Previously when I used to build index i used to get false in return.
>> Event.rebuild_index
=> false

Now I get this.
>> Event.rebuild_index
=> {}

Following changes took place.

1) I moved my app from FCGI to mongrel.
2) I moved my app to capistrano.

Before moving to capistrano the code was
 acts_as_ferret :fields => [ "name", "desc_uf" ]


Now the code is
 acts_as_ferret :fields => [ "name", "desc_uf"
],:index_dir =>
"/home/dorelal/apps/eii_#{RAILS_ENV}/shared/ferret"

My question is this:
Now that I do Event.rebuild_index I get {} in return. Is that okay? Or
does that mean something is wrong somewhere?

Thanks

As of now, the return value of rebuild_index does not mean anything and 
has changed between aaf versions. In 0.3.0, index.close() was the last call 
in the method, in 0.3.1 it''s been an assignment to Hash.new, so {}
looks like
a correct return value for this version.

However I don''t see how the return value should change from false to {}
without switching the aaf version.

PS: I promise to set the return value of rebuild_index to something
meaningful (maybe the number of records indexed?) in future versions, as
people really seem to pay attention to it ;-)

You are right. I upgraded aaf too. Not sure what the earlier version was 
but when I upgraded I got ''svn revision 132'' for aaf.

Sorry I should have mentioned that.

Thanks
