uninitialized constant error when run rake sunspot:solr:xxx in 1.3.0.rc*

[yhslai]

I installed sunspot_rails 1.3.0.rc2, but I can't even start the solr server.

It's my rake sunspot:solr:start --trace:

** Invoke sunspot:solr:stop (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
Warning: No memcahded
** Execute sunspot:solr:stop
rake aborted!

Tasks: TOP => sunspot:solr:stop

I also tried 1.3.0.rc3, 1.3.0.rc4 but the results are the same. The problem was solve immediately after I turned back to 1.2.1 version.

I'm also having this issue with rc4

Partially solved by installing the sunspot_solr gem, however rake tasks doesn't work anymore. Had to use sunspot-solr start command.

With that I'm able to index and search for models, however can't run the reindex task because of this error:

> rake sunspot:reindex
Skipping progress bar - no such file to load -- progress_bar

I've used Model.find_each { |m| m.index }, but I think this not efficient while still useful for a quick try.

[alindeman]

Thanks for the report. I'll look into this soon. Let me know if you come across any more details.

[alindeman]

Believe I've fixed this, but can you folks test it?

Change your Gemfile for sunspot_rails to this:

gem 'sunspot_rails', :git => 'git://github.com/alindeman/sunspot.git', :branch => 'solr_rake_tasks'

Run bundle update sunspot_rails and let me know if the tasks work? If so, I'll merge!

[alindeman]

@fabn, can you file a separate issue about sunspot:reindex?

[alindeman]

Going to merge this in and close. Please reopen if it continues being an issue.

[fabn]

Sorry for being late. Your commit has solved the issue in my case, thanks.

Just a notice, now when using rake sunspot:solr:start the pid file sunspot-solr.pid is created in the root directory of my rails project. Shouldn't it be in tmp/pids?

Furthermore I've noticed that the progress_bar issue was solved in this commit so it's not an issue anymore, even if the message is not so clear. Maybe something like this would be better:

You don't have the progress_bar gem in your bundle, add it with "gem 'progress_bar'" in your Gemfile, to show progress in realtime
Indexing in progress...

[alindeman]

I haven't fully reviewed the code to move sunspot_solr to a gem. I'll look into the *.pid issue.

Totally agree on the progress_bar message: fixed in bbb0d7b.
