Re: Can't render html entities when adding documents

[Erik Hatcher]

Thiago,

I'll have to look late this week/weekend if I get a chance then, but  
how did acts_as_solr create the XML passed to Solr?   I think you  
used my original hack for that communication which used REXML,  
right?   solr-ruby now supports both REXML and libxml2 - and I've  
found that libxml2 does things properly whereas REXML was screwing  
things up.

I suspect we can come up with a simple test case that shows where  
things are wacky.  If you can submit one of those I'll be glad to  
look into this as soon as I can (this weekend at the earliest).

        Erik

Replying to my own post, I just tried with solr 1.2 with the last 2
previous versions of acts_as_solr and it worked great, so I'm pretty
sure this is a solr-ruby issue. I'll do some more testing with the way
solr-ruby adds documents to Solr.

What's interesting is that on the previous versions of acts_as_solr
(without solr-ruby) the html entities where getting indexed fine
without passing through ERB's html_escape method. That's that I  
did as
a fast fix before starting this thread.

Did anything change in Solr 1.2 in regards to xml parsing? And I  
guess
I should try the previous version of the acts_as_solr plugin with  
Solr
1.2 to see if I get the same error.
