As I followed Recipe 27 of the Advanced Rails Recipes book. I tried to
follow the steps exactly to see if I can drill down the search

facets.
Initially solr and solr-ruby appeared to work fine. The below
statements
worked great and I was able to query the solr index from Ruby.
solr = Solr::Connection.new(’http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr’)
response = solr.query(’pragmatic’, :facets => {:fields =>
['pubisher_facet'], :mincount =>1}) docs = response.hits
But when I ran
response.facet_fields(’publisher_facet’)
I got the below error
response.field_facets(’publisher_facet’) NoMethodError: undefined

`size’ for nil:NilClass from
It's field_facets, not facet_fields. Using Solr's example data, solr-
