Hey Pat,
Man, you are good. And fast, too! Thanks a lot for helping me with
this. Your solution worked like a charm!
BTW, I'm confused about it barfing on 'act', too. But I'm pretty sure
that was the problem. To illustrate:
This is my association:
belongs_to :act, :class_name => 'Activity::Act',
:foreign_key => 'activity_act_id'
And this is my define_index block:
define_index do
indexes text
has act.politician_pol_id, :as => :politician
end
And this is what happens when I do a 'rake ts:rebuild':
Generating Configuration to /home/larry/RubyMineProjects/stupid-
tuesday/config/development.sphinx.conf
rake aborted!
undefined method `politician_pol_id' for nil:NilClass
/home/larry/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.5/lib/active_support/
whiny_nil.rb:52:in `method_missing'
/home/larry/RubyMineProjects/stupid-tuesday/app/models/activity/
comment.rb:43
As you can see, the 'act' association is nil, even though it is
defined before the 'define_index' block. To test my theory, this is
what I had - workng - before your more elegant solution:
# Define the same association using 'th_sp_act' instead of 'act'
belongs_to :th_sp_act, :class_name => 'Activity::Act',
:foreign_key => 'activity_act_id'
When I did that, this worked:
define_index do
indexes text
has th_sp_act.politician_pol_id, :as => :politician
end
Regardless, thanks again!!!
