thinking-sphinx | Sphinx/Manticore plugin for ActiveRecord/Rails | Web Framework library

We ported our Rails 5.2 app to Heroku and were able to get almost everything working with FlyingSphinx.

Search and indexing work well but as a convenience to our users, we try to let them know when the daemon is down for service or if we're re-indexing.

Previously, we were able to use

ThinkingSphinx::Configuration.instance.controller.running?

But this always returns false on Heroku even if the daemon is running.

Our thinking_sphinx.yml doesn't specify file locations or information on where the pid is, so I suspect this may be the issue; however, I can't find anywhere that would explain what to use in thinking_sphinx.yml for Heroku/FlyingSphinx, if it's at all necessary https://freelancing-gods.com/thinking-sphinx/v3/advanced_config.html.

Our thinking_sphinx.yml looks like this now:

Using thinking_sphinx to fetch data from records. It working fine but facing an issue that not find any to get records on date comparison like created_at greater than or less than. I check their official documentation also Thinking Sphinx

Is thinking sphinx provide that way? If yes then can we do that

Using thinking-sphinx for facets in my app and define two facets price and year.

I want to fetch facets nested results.

Now I am getting facets by year and it give count against year.

Using thinking-sphinx to fetch records and it works fine. But the issue is that I want to fetch associated records also in results to improve site performance.

Like I want to fetch pictures of articles also along with articles .

Tried this one but its not working

I am using Sphinx 2.2.11-id64-release and gem 'thinking-sphinx', '3.3.0'.

rake ts:configureworks fine and generated development development.sphinx.conf

But when running sphinx rake ts:index ts:start it fails and shows these errors in logs:

Hitting an OutOfBoundsError as a consequence of misunderstanding the proper configuration syntax (which may also be a by-product of legacy syntax).

The manual suggests a Class search taking on WillPaginate styled parameters. Having many fields to draw from, the model is defined as

I want to create two indices for the same model and search separately

I am using

I have recently upgraded my app to Rails 5 and I now get an error when I want to Index (see stacktrace below).

Only if I comment these two lines in my index is TS able to create the Index:

I'm trying to convert a delta-based index in ThinkingSphinx into a realtime one. Per the docs, I've added this callback:

after_save ThinkingSphinx::RealTime.callback_for(:location)

That works just fine for adding and updating records, woo. My problem is in deleting records, which according to the Rails docs, don't trigger after_save callbacks. I've confirmed this by deleting a record, which is not then deleted from my sphinx index.

I tried

after_destroy ThinkingSphinx::RealTime.callback_for(:location)

But this raises an error (as the realtime callbacks do not support after_destroy).

How can I remove an entry from my index when using a real time index?

(thinking-sphinx 3.3.0, rails 5.0.4, if that helps)
