Rails - Sep 2008 - update each record in order to update Ferret index?

Hi,

I''m having some problems on a particular acts_as_ferret model.
Rebuilding the index with Model.rebuild_index does not seem to work. No
results are returned after indexing. However,
when I update each record manually, the index seems to be correct.

This is my model:

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base

...
  acts_as_articlequerybuilder
  acts_as_messageuser :Article,:title,:body,:excerpt
  acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :active_title,:active_excerpt,:joined_tags
], :remote => true

...

end

The fields specified are custom methods, defined in acts_as_messageuser.
Maby this is causing some troubles with ferret :

        #active_title  => returns title field in current active language
        define_method(''active_''+param.to_s) do
           value = read_attribute(param.to_s)
           language = $activelanguage.code.to_sym
           if value
             Message.find(value).send(language)
           else
             nil
           end
        end

Can somebody point me in the right direction? Oh, I''m using
ferret_server in production mode. Ferret works fine on the model in
development mode without ferret_server

Thanks

no real help for your actual problem.

But we moved an existing project from ferret to sphinx,
for exactly the reasons you mention. Everything working
fine in dev, but fails in prod.
If you google around a bit, you''ll find that this seems a common
problem with ferret.

I would recommend moving to sphinx. Depending on amount of
models that use ferret, this shouldn''t take more than a day or two.

Hi, could you tell us about the actual configuration of ferret?  How''s
Ferret
working in development mode without the ferret_server?  Is the ferret_server
up and operational in the production environment?

Hi Conrad,

In development mode, I''m just using the local index without any ferret 
server. In production mode, the ferret server is definitely doing it''s 
job. Most models using ferret, are simple models with straightforward 
fields. However, the article model is a bit more complex and doesn''t 
index unless I update each record manually.

here is my server config:

 development:
   host: localhost
   port: 9015
   pid_file: log/ferret.pid
   log_file: log/ferret_server.log

Hmm ... If I can''t fix it, I have two options:

- Iterate trough all articles and update manually once in a while
- try out to Sphinx

Give this a go:

class Article
   acts_as_ferret :fields => [...]
   cattr_accessor :ferret_server
   self.ferret_server = ActsAsFerret.remote? ? aaf_index : self
end

Article.ferret_server.rebuild_index
