Hi, I'm just getting starting with Thinking Sphinx and I love it so far! I was having a problem with some rake tasks that depend on the environment task (there are lots of these) where the thinking_sphinx gem wasn't loading and so any model that used it was raising a MethodNotFound error on #define_index when loading.
I had configured thinking_sphinx in config/environment.rb as recommended: config.gem 'freelancing-god-thinking-sphinx', :lib => 'thinking_sphinx' But after investigating the problem I think that for these tasks this was only configuring a dependency, not loading the gem. I'm not sure why. My solution was to require 'thinking_sphinx' as well as 'thinking_sphinx/tasks' in my Rakefile to force it to load: require 'thinking_sphinx' require 'thinking_sphinx/tasks' I wonder if anyone else has seen this? Or if anyone can suggest something I'm doing wrong? Here's an easy way to reproduce it with rails 2.3.2 and thinking- sphinx 1.1.20. 1. Create a rake task in lib/tasks like the following: task 'dependency_test' => :environment do Document # replace this with any model that calls #define_index end 2. Then run the task: a...@ahlx:~/devel/test$ rake dependency_test (in /home/ajh/devel/test) rake aborted! undefined method `define_index' for #<Class:0xb5a824b4> (See full trace by running task with --trace) 3. Add "require 'thinking_sphinx'" before the require for 'thinking_sphinx/tasks' (as described above) in your Rakefile and observe that it fixes the problem.
