The API package 'search' or call 'IndexDocument()' was not found

[Apurva Nandan]

Using Google App Engine's Search API, I am trying to index some document into a test index. I am using the code sample given on the Google App Engine official documentation. But when I try to run the snippet below. I get the following error when I tr to put a document via index.put:

Exception in thread "main" com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy$CallNotFoundException: The API package 'search' or call 'IndexDocument()' was not found. at com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy$1.get(ApiProxy.java:179) at com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy$1.get(ApiProxy.java:177) at com.google.appengine.api.utils.FutureWrapper.get(FutureWrapper.java:88) at com.google.appengine.api.utils.FutureWrapper.get(FutureWrapper.java:88) at com.google.appengine.api.search.FutureHelper.getInternal(FutureHelper.java:73) at com.google.appengine.api.search.FutureHelper.quietGet(FutureHelper.java:32) at com.google.appengine.api.search.IndexImpl.put(IndexImpl.java:486) at test.service.SearchingService.indexADocument(SearchingService.java:52)

Here's the code snippet:

 IndexSpec indexSpec = IndexSpec.newBuilder().setName(indexName).build();

          SearchService service = SearchServiceFactory.getSearchService(
                   SearchServiceConfig.newBuilder().setDeadline(10.0).setNamespace("geeky").build());
          Index index = service.getIndex(indexSpec);



          final int maxRetry = 3;
          int attempts = 0;
          int delay = 2;
          while (true) {
            try {

              index.put(document); // ERROR!!!!!!!!!!
            } catch (PutException e) {
              if (StatusCode.TRANSIENT_ERROR.equals(e.getOperationResult().getCode())
                  && ++attempts < maxRetry) { // retrying
                Thread.sleep(delay * 1000);
                delay *= 2; // easy exponential backoff
                continue;
              } else {
                throw e; // otherwise throw
              }
            }
            break;
          }

        }

I am using appengine-java-sdk-1.9.18 with Eclipse Kepler. It doesn't matter if I run the code on a local dev server or in production hosted on appspot. I get the same error. I am already authenticated in eclipse to my google account, and am able to push my code into production via eclipse. Has anybody seen this error before?

This error suggests that the package and API call you are attempting to use are not present.  This may very well be due to the version of the SDK you are using.  1.9.18 was released on February 19, 2015.  There have been numerous releases, patches and fixes since.  We're currently at 1.9.40.  I would strongly suggest updating to this most recent version and re-attempting this, providing this error again if it arises.

Hello,

I tried the Java SDK 1.9.40 but the problem still persists. Have spent a lot of time on this but not able to figure out the problem. Do you have any more hints ?

Hey Apurva,

Could you show the details of how you installed SDK 1.9.40? It's possible you're still compiling / deploying with the old SDK, which is expected to throw this error.

Cheers!

Hi. I am using Eclipse and in the configuration for Google app engine, I just provide the latest SDK location (folder) which I have downloaded.
I have cross-checked it multiple times. I am using the latest SDK.

Is there any problem with the Java SDK, I tried the latest version 1.9.42 in eclipse. It still doesn't work. This is really puzzling me now.

Hey Apurva,

Could you email me the full code so that I can test on a completely separate system from your own? My address in case you can't see it is pay...@google.com. Ordinarily we would want this kind of issue reported in the Public Issue Tracker, but I'll be happy to look into this from here.

Hey Apurva,

The reason this is failing is because you should be running this code in the context of an App Engine servlet, not merely within the main() method of a traditional java class. Here is an example tutorial showing a basic java app for App Engine. When I ran the code within the App Engine development server environment and in production, I saw no errors.

Hi Nick,

Many thanks a lot for resolving the issue which was literally puzzling me. I was actually following my old elasticsearch way of indexing the documents by creating desktop based jars to run periodically as cron jobs. But I guess, I will figure something out in this case as well.

Just a small question, when I run this thing on the development server, where is the index stored locally?

Thanks again for resolving the issue !
