Question

This is probably pretty basic, but I can’t seem to figure it out. I have Thinking Sphinx set up and running, but when I go to run my rspec tests, I get an undefined method error:

`method_missing': undefined method `define_index' for #<Class:0x000001010ecb38> (NoMethodError)

Looks like it just doesn’t like the indexes I defined on the models… I saw this article, but I’m not using Cucumber. How do I fix this?

RSpec 2.3.1, Sphinx 1.10-beta, Thinking Sphinx 2.0.0, Rails 3.0.5.

Answer 1

Turns out the method_missing error was a bit of a red herring. I never set up sphinx to run in test. I ended up having to change my database.yml file to use mysql, and set that whole thing up. Running sphinx with

rake thinking_sphinx:start RAILS_ENV=test

And then running my tests took care of it. Kind of annoying, but I guess that’s the way it’s gotta be.
