Question

I use thinking-sphinx like this :

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  define_index do
    indexes title
    indexes comments.message, as: :comment_message
    indexes category_projects.description, as: :category_description
  end

  class << self
    def text_search(word)
      ThinkingSphinx.search(word, include: :comments)
    end
  end
end

When I do this Project.text_search('test') it works but I want to do this :

@projects = Project.text_search('test')
@projects.each do |project|
  puts project.comment_message
end

For the moment I have this message :

undefined method `comment_message' for #<ThinkingSphinx::Search:0x000000057e11c0>
    from /home/dougui/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194-perf@comment_my_projects/bundler/gems/thinking-sphinx-b293abdbdf0c/lib/thinking_sphinx/search.rb:185:in `method_missing'

    from script/rails:6:in `require'
    from script/rails:6:in `<main>'

So, how to load fields into a model from thinking-sphinx?

I didn’t find anything one the doc.

Thanks!

Answered on the TS mailing list as well, but essentially, the fields aren’t returned by Sphinx, so you just need to refer to the associations/columns that the fields are built from:

projects.each do |project|
  puts project.comments.message.join("\n")
end
