: I'm still interested on what steps I could take to get to the bottom of the : failing tests. Is there additional information that I should provide?
i'm not really up to speed on what might have changed in Tika 0.9 to cause this, but the best thing to do would probably be to look at what *does* work compared to what doesn't work. if *none* of hte asserts for dealing with an html doc work, that suggests that fundementally something is just completley broken about the html parsing. Consider this first assertion failure... : assertQ(req("title:Welcome"), "//*[@numFound='1']"); ...in the context of what you said tika 0.9 gives you for that doc on the command line... : $ java -jar tika-app-0.9.jar : ../../../apache-solr-1.4.1-with-tika-0.9/contrib/extraction/src/test/resources/simple.html ... : <title>Welcome to Solr</title> ...if that basic little bit of info can't be extracted, then i'm guessing nothing is being extracted. I would suggest you run the example (with the 0.9 tika jars) and manually attempt to index one document, and then use the schema browser to see exactly what gets indexed. you may need to experiment with tweaking the config options for the extraction handler. -Hoss
