Daniel-- I was having a similar problem where I couldn't vacuum indexes that were failing. I solved it by doing the following:
1: copy the application to a new computer (I went from Mac to PC, but I'm not sure if that was necessary... It probably wasn't) 2: install the sdk utility on the new computer 3: add the application as an existing application on the sdk utility on the new computer. 4: open the index.yaml on the application and remove the problem indexes. 5: use pycfg to vacuum the indexes in the new computer 6: restore the indexes in the index.yaml 7: use pycfg on the new computer to update the indexes 8: deploy the app from the new computer 9: resume development from the old computer I'm really not sure why that worked. Theere are probably several unnecessary steps in there to make it work. So feel free to play around with them. You might actually get the same results from simply reinstalling the sdk utility. I heard another person having a similar issue resolved it by upgrading their sdk. Regardless. Hopefully this will help you make things work. In my case, i had to wait several hours for the indexes to finish deleting and building and whatnot. But at least it was showing progress. Which is more then i was getting before. And I'm back on track now. No more issues (right now). Good luck!!!!!! -Pete On May 6, 6:00 am, Daniel Bartlett <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I recently tried adding an index to an application upon it being added > it went into Error state. > > I have tried doing the following to get indexes working. > > A: > - Existing app with 1 index which was working > - Added a table > - Added an index - With an incorrect column > - Index went to Error > - Updated table to correct column name > - Index still in error > - Tried to vacuum the indexes but it failed to delete them > > B > - Created a new app > - Added the tables > - Added the indexes > - Both indexes went to error > > C > - Created a new app > - Added the tables > - Added data to 1 table > - Added 1 index - Worked > - Added 2nd index - Failed > > How can I get around this as it seems that all indexes now go to > error.
