Got this error when migrating to thinking sphinx 3.

[pat]

What are your index definitions?

[pat]

Another thought for this issue: it looks like you're manually specifying a type for an attribute, but these have changed slightly with TS v3. :datetime has become :timestamp (matching Sphinx's own labelling), and :multi is now a separate setting, as there can be multi-value attributes of different types (:integer and :bigint). Here's an example of how the latter would change between TS versions:

has "CUSTOM SQL", :as => :values, :type => :multi
# becomes
has "CUSTOM SQL", :as => :values, :type => :integer, :multi => true

[lephyrius]

Works with :datetime .

So now the only error I get is:

undefined method `excerpts' for #<Game:0x00000101ac2f68>

So is there any special way of handling excerpts in ThinkingSphinx 3 ?

[lephyrius]

Ahh! Sorry now I see. A much nicer way of doing excerpts.

[lephyrius]

Hmmm... Looks like I do need to call the excerpts function to get excerpts? I don't get excerpts from just the attribute.
Oh! Now im stupid. I needed the excerpts pane. :)

[pat]

@lephyrius did you get excerpts figured out?

[lephyrius]

@pat Yes, thats why I closed this issue.

[pat]

I was just wondering what the cause of the issue was.
