Hi Josh
It's not a bug - the behaviour of Thinking Sphinx (or more to the point,
Riddle - the Ruby API for Sphinx that Thinking Sphinx uses) is different
depending on which version of Sphinx it's talking to - and to figure
that out, it tries to run indexer.
However, there's a setting to tell TS which version of Sphinx it's
dealing with - in your config/sphinx.yml file:
production:
version: 0.9.9
One other thing you'll probably want to do is run:
ThinkingSphinx.remote_sphinx = true
This should happen at the end of your environment.rb file, and you'll
probably want it looking more like:
ThinkingSphinx.remote_sphinx = true if Rails.env.production?
You can't put this in config/environments/production.rb because that
file gets evaluated before gems and plugins are loaded - which causes TS
to be loaded twice, which leads to this setting being ignored.
Perhaps it could go in a file in config/initializers - I've not tried
that, but I'd guess it would work nicely there.
Hope this clarifies a few things.
Cheers
