Problems after gem update

georgina · July 4, 2007, 3:19pm

Hi, I had ferret working wonderfully but i am regretting doing a gem
update today.
I had alot of trouble first installing it and was really happy to have
it working. The upgrade was from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0.
The problem is;
in the rails console,

@results = Book.find_by_contents(“peter pan”)
=> #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x487040c @total_hits=0, @results=[]>

Its indexing only null values!

and in the app(here’s the stack),

ArgumentError in SearchController#search

wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

So you’re using acts_as_Ferret 0.4.0 now. What version of Ferret are you
running? I’d suggest 0.11.x .

Rebuilding your index might help also. How do the pieces of code where
you use acts_as_ferret look like? I’m not sure but there may have been
some API changes from 0.3.1 to 0.4 .

cheers,
Jens

Hi Jens,
Thankyou for your reply.
I’m running ferret 0.11.4
The code is just your stock standard AAF stuff(mostly stolen from the
railenvy tutorial;-)

def search
@query = params[:query]
if @query.blank?
flash[:error] = “Query was blank”
redirect_to(:action => ‘index’)
else
@total, @books = Book.full_text_search(@query, :page =>
(params[:page]||1))
@pages = pages_for(@total)
render_cloud
@total_hits = Book.total_hits(@query)
end
end

and in the Book Model;

   def self.full_text_search(q, options = {})
   return nil if q.nil? or q==""
   default_options = {:limit => 10, :page => 1}
   options = default_options.merge options
   # get the offset based on what page we're on
   options[:offset] = options[:limit] *

(options.delete(:page).to_i-1)
# now do the query with our options
results = Book.find_by_contents(q, options)#, :conditions =>
conditions)
return [results.total_hits, results]
end

I’m at a loss as to what to do.
