similar to: Records not in search results until I recreate record index

acts_as_ferret does not handle transaction aborts properly. If a model is modified but something latter causes the transaction it was wrapped in to abort, the ferret index will not revert to the original record data. I have included a klunky patch to defer modifying the ferret index until after the current transaction commits. It would seem prudent to resolve this issue, though I

Hi all This week I have worked with Rails and Ferret to test Ferrets (and Lucenes) capabilities. I decided to make a mixin for ActiveRecord as it seemed the simplest possible solution and I ended up making this into a plugin. For more info on Ferret see: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ The plugin is functional but could easily be refined. Anyway I want to share it with you. Regard it as a

We''ve been running into problems with ferret indexing lately. The problem is intermittent and some times it persists. Just got this after wiping the index and redeploying: NoMethodError (undefined method `add'' for Solution:Class): (druby://10.1.65.87:9009) /data/releases/20071111152414/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1238:in `method_missing''

Is there any way to debug processes of creating/updating of index and data retrieval? I use ferret (0.10.13) and acts_as_ferret plugin, and it seems that index is being updated - field ''state_or_province_or_region'' has value ''ON'': ferret_create/update: Entity : 1 creating doc for class: Entity, id: 1 Adding field description with value ''Sed metus

I have a sellable flag in my database. I''m trying to have ferret only add/update records where sellable == true. What is the best way to do this? I''ve tried editing instance_methods.rb in the AAF, but I still can''t get it to work. Thanks for the help -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d like to be able to enable/disable the automatic indexing of documents acts_as_ferret does. Something like MyModel.disable_indexing MyModel.enable_indexing would be perfect. I need this because I do some indexing that requires visiting the parents of the model objects and my import method imports the children first, so the information isn''t there yet. I''d like to

Unfortunately I''m a newbie to ruby, rails, and acts_as_ferret. Also, I''m working in code I mostly didn''t write, so I''m kind of unsure of things. So this may be a dumb question. It also may be the same issue as the topic ''Duplicate search results'', but I''m not sure. When I update column values with

Dear list, I ''m using a text input field with autocompletion . The suggestions come from a ferret index which is created by getting all the terms belonging to other indices. Here is the code: class Suggestion attr_accessor :term def self.index(create) [Person, Project, Orgunit].each{|kl| terms = self.all_terms(kl) terms.each{|term| suggestion =

Hi, I'm trying to plot some data (z) that is linked to lat&long coordinates (x&y). These coordinates are not however on a regular grid. I also have some shapefiles on which I would like to overlay the data. I can plot the shapefiles (country/city outlines) and overplot the data, but only using quilt.plot because I otherwise always get the error message that 'Error in

Disclaimer: ferret newbie here, don''t blame too hard. Hi, I''m trying to apply acts_as_ferret to apply search to my Person model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name, :surname acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''surname'' ] ... But when I try to save a new Person instance I get this error:

I''m building a new index from scratch based on a number of documents stored in a database loaded using my Rails env (using Ruby Ferret 0.9x (installed today with Gem) on Windows). At first everything goes nice but after a number of documents it starts to go slower and slower until it grinds to a halt (at least feels like it). Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way to work

Hi, I saw someone else have this earlier. The recommendation is still to downgrade to 0.11.3?

How do I use a model that has "acts_as_ferret" defined outside rails? I''ve tried adding this to the top of my model: require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/acts_as_ferret.rb" and then defining RAILS_ROOT and RAILS_ENV in my app that uses the model outside rails. That got me this exception:

Hi, I have some code to rebuild my ferret indexes but occasionally some stale documents remain in the index even after rebuilding. The only way I could find around this is to manually delete the index files from the filesystem. Here is the code I have for rebuilding one of my indexes for Gifts: # delete existing entries INDEX.size.times {|i| INDEX.delete(i)} gifts =

The svn repository for acts_as_ferret has just been tagged with version 0.2.1. This is the first version of aaf to support the 0.9.x branch of Ferret.

We have an application that uses Ferret and acts_as_ferret that we just upgraded to Ferret 0.10.5 (from 0.9.5) and the corresponding version of the acts_as_ferret. Everything works as expected on my laptop, which is running mongrel 0.3.13.3. When I deploy the application on our server, which is running some version of Red Hat Linux, I can''t get Ferret to work at all when

Hi, I''m running the edge Typo and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin and ferret gems (as of 11 April). In my Content model I put acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body] In the console, I call Content.rebuild_index to index all of my existing content. All the directories get created etc, but I get the following error back: Loading development environment. >>

Hi, I just installed via script/plugin from the stable svn tag. (Revision 54) I''m running Rails 1.1.2 and have Ferret 0.9.3 (with C extensions. no compilation problems) I put together a simple model to test it and I''m getting a segfault. The model: class Report < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :name] end $ script/console Loading development

Hi, I am experiencing very poor performance when updating my index. For example, to update the index for 10 documents, it is taking 3 to 4 seconds. My index is currently very small... with probably less than 100 docs in it. I have created my index as follows: GIFT_INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => "#{index_dir}/gift", :key => ''id'', :auto_flush => true)
