I recently wiped my laptop to install Mac OS X Lion, and am having some
trouble setting up Thinking Sphinx in my development environment again. This
situation has been replicated on another developer's laptop while he was
trying to set up the same project.
When trying to run "rake thinking_sphinx:index" for the first time and
letting it autocreate my development.sphinx.conf, I'm seeing certain models
being completely skipped. Not mentioned in the output of "rake
thinking_sphinx:index", and no mention of them in the resulting
development.sphinx.conf ... it's as if I've failed to mention that those
models should be indexed. These models were previously being indexed...
infact they still are in our production environment, but of course we don't
want to remove the production.sphinx.conf there and try rebuilding because
it seems quite likely that our production environment will just break the
same way it has on our development machines.
Searching for people having similar problems (both here in this group and
elsewhere on the Internet) hasn't turned up more than a few threads. I did
see Pat mention in one thread that if a model's .rb file failed to compile
for some reason, TS would be unable to parse it so would skip it, so I
tested one of the skipped models by firing up "rails console" and just
typing the name of that model to see if any errors came back... but I saw no
errors.
I also saw a thread where Pat suggested a workaround of using an
"indexed_models" block in config/sphinx.yml, but doing that (listing all
models that should be indexed), and then deleting development.sphinx.conf
and all of Sphinx's database files, then running "rake
thinking_sphinx:index" just gets me this output:

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.select

Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try?
