Issue with hits having something that is nil relating to the raw id

[alindeman]

Did you add any documents to Solr other than through Sunspot?

[tcocca]

Nope, sunpot only.

Also, all of these records that were created were through the typical request lifecycle, no console or rake tasks or anything.

[alindeman]

Are you able to use a debugger to see what raw_hit['id'] is set to when it bombs out (set a breakpoint on hit.rb:30)? Or temporary edit your version of the Sunspot source to output it? It'd be really nice to see what it is .. and therefore work back to how it got that way.

[alindeman]

Any ideas here? Can you get it down to a representative example with example data?

[tcocca]

Sorry Andy, I have been deep in a rails3 upgrade for our app for the last
week and a half, just deployed and dealing with a few issues. I'll try to
override that method tomorrow and get some logging in place to try and
figure out what the raw hit is looking like.

Thanks! 👍

We talked through this on IRC. Figured out that a callback was indexing the record before it had an ID.

@alindeman How did you solve this issue? I am also facing a similar issue with Sunspot 1.3.3

[alexandremcosta]

@alindeman IRC?? Are you kidding? Why didn't you post the solution man??, I'm dealing with the same issue, and this is the only place on the web which talks about it. IRC???

undefined method match' for nil:NilClass sunspot (1.3.3) lib/sunspot/search/hit.rb:30:ininitialize'

Backtrace:

I posted the issue: "Figured out that a callback was indexing the record before it had an ID."

How did you find out? I have a similar problem, but I can't figure out what's happening. Some queries work normally, so I don't think it's a indexing problem.
The difference is that the error I get is "undefined method `match' for nil:NilClass:", on the same line.

I was having the same issue and managed to resolve it. In my case I was explicitly indexing an object before it was saved, by using 'Sunspot.index your_document'. I tracked it down by opening up the sunspot gem (bundle open sunspot) and adding a puts statement to the first line of the hit class initializer. Just being able to see what 'raw_hit' was allowed me to track down the problem - very messy, but effective.

I encountered this issue with Sunspot 2.1.0, for the same reason explained by others above, i.e. an object had been indexed even though it had not been saved by ActiveRecord.

The solution to remove this record from the Solr index, without a full reindex, was to run:

Sunspot.remove_by_id!('Post', nil)

... where "Post" is the name of the class indexed by Sunspot.

Can I read this thread to confirm that Sunspot can't read documents indexed outside of sunspot?

@karmajunkie Sunspot instantiates activerecord models from the indexed solr records. If the solr contains an record for a model that doesn't existing in activerecord, you will not see it in your list of results.
