sphinx_attributes not defined

[J. Garcia]

Hi there,

I'm trying to access sphinx_attributes in this setup:

class Brand < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :brand_ids
  has_many :brand_roles, :through => :brand_ids
end

ThinkingSphinx::Index.define :brand, :with => :active_record do
  indexes name, :sortable => true

  has brand_roles.id, :as => :role_id, :type => :integer, :multi => true
end

brands = Brand.search(:conditions => {:name => params[:search]}, :order => :name, :page => params[:page], :per_page => 5)
brands.context[:panes] << ThinkingSphinx::Panes::AttributesPane

puts brands[0].sphinx_attributes['role_id']

undefined method `sphinx_attributes' for #<Brand:0x5c19e88>

What am I missing?

My versions:
Sphinx 2.1.3
thinking-sphinx 3.0.6
Rails 3.2.14

Are you running that test in the console? Be aware that panes are applied before the search query happens, but because the console calls inspect on each returned value, brands is evaluated as soon as you define it.

A way to get around that is add ; ‘’ to the end of that line - thus, an empty string is returned instead. This means you can then add the pane, and *then* accessing attributes in search values should work.

  brands = Brand.search(:conditions => {:name => params[:search]}, :order => :name, :page => params[:page], :per_page => 5); ''
  brands.context[:panes] << ThinkingSphinx::Panes::AttributesPane
  puts brands[0].sphinx_attributes['role_id']

If this doesn’t help, let me know.

Thanks Pat. It worked.

Can this be called from within a model instance method?

I tried and it did not work, but I don't quite understand why:

undefined local variable or method `sphinx_attributes' for #<Brand:0x76ccce0>

Nope, it’s available only on a wrapper object around each search result - the underlying model remains untouched (I’m not keen for TS to muck about with objects that don’t belong to it any more than necessary).
