Hi Oliver
I'm not quite sure of the best way to sort out this issue - the lazy result
loading is a key part of chaining sphinx scopes together without querying
Sphinx multiple times... but hitting errors in views instead of the controller
is definitely not ideal.
As a work-around, if you change your controller to be the following, this
should ensure the error happens within the action instead:
def search
@products = Product.search(params[:criteria])
@products.first
# ...
end
The request for the actual results forces the query to happen in the controller.
Still, this is ugly code, but it's the best I've got at the moment (other
suggestions very much welcome).
