yeah, this post was way before I started building with Rails 3. On my Rails 3 apps, I’m now using mongoid and solr, so I make no guarantees as to that post.

Should mongosphinx work with rails3? I’ve added to my mongomapper model this: fulltext_index :product_id, :product_title, :server => ‘localhost’, :port => 9312

And get this error: NoMethodError: undefined method `fulltext_index’ for Product:Class

obvious first step: make sure your mongod is running on port 9312 and hitting it via “0.0.0.0″ actually works.

I use this for my app(rails 3)
but an error is “Connection to 0.0.0.0 on 9312 failed. Connection refused – connect(2)”
I don’t know why?

Solved!

I patched up (..)Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mongosphinx-0.1.1/./lib/mixins/properties.rb (line 56). It seems to be working fine now.

def sphinx_id
if (match = self.id.to_s.match(/#{self.class}-([0-9]+)/)) #.to_s. inserted
return match[1]
else
return nil
end
end

Cheers and thx again

Just a guess (I’ve moved on to Sunspot/Solr for use with Mongo now, instead of Sphinx), but I’m betting this is due to you using a newer version of MongoMapper. In the more recent versions, Nunemaker has switched MM’s treatment of mongo object IDs from being a straight string to being an actual ObjectID object that can be coerced to a string. It sounds like runner.rb is getting called at some point and told to run match() on the id, assuming that it’s a String (which has a match method), but it’s an ObjectID (which does not).

Again, just a guess based on the error you are seeing. Likely you’ll have to hack around in MongoSphinx and find wherever it’s trying to use that object id and add .to_s

Hello,

I’m having an annoying issue with /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/commands/runner.rb:48: undefined method `match’ for ObjectID(’4bab806e51e63a319e000004′):Mongo::ObjectID (NoMethodError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongosphinx-0.1.1/./lib/indexer.rb:108:in `initialize’

mongo (0.19.1)
mongo_ext (0.19.1)
mongo_mapper (0.7.1)
mongosphinx (0.1.1)

Sphinx .98 OR .99

it also happens anytime i try: puts MongoSphinx::Indexer::XMLDocset.new(Page.all(WHATEVER)).to_s

…

I tried over and over again on ubuntu and snow leopard.

Help!

thx.

I solved this issue in case anyone else has the same problem, although I’m still not entirely sure of the cause. I changed my genxml task to actually write an tmp/accounts.xml libxml2 file, and then in my sphinx config I changed my xmlpipe_command to = cat /tmp/accounts.xml. So the problem appears to have been to do with extra characters someone getting added to the puts output from xml_for_sphinx_pipe.

I also had a separate problem starting sphinx. It kept telling me that port 9132 was in use, which it wasn’t. I removed port 9132 from the sphinx.conf file, and now it starts fine, but still on port 9132.

Did you have any trouble getting sphinx to parse the xml? Mine keeps blowing up with “XML parse error: junk after document element”. I created a thread on the sphinx forum too, but no reply ;( http://www.sphinxsearch.com/forum/view.html?id=5209
