Installation problems

[uns...@gmail.com]

Hi I'm trying to install Insoshi via the git hub repository. I am
using ubuntu 9.10 and mysql. The installation goes well until the rake
spec step where all tests fail.

At first they failed because it was looking for rsa_key.pub. I
supplied this, then it failed all tests because:

The exact error was:
OpenSSL::PKey::RSAError: Neither PUB key nor PRIV key:: nested asn1
error

on all tests.

What is wrong?

Thanks,

Paul

I'm not sure: I haven't seen this error before. I just did a clean
install of insoshi on my mac and wasn't able to reproduce it.

I'm a little surprised that you needed to supply an rsa_key.pub; the
repository should create a default key pair that should be sufficient
to get the application running. (Though of course you should
generate your own pair before launching a production site).

Does this error affect only the specs? What happens if you install
and launch the application in development mode with this:

$ rake db:sample_data:reload
$ script/server

Can you load the site at http://localhost:3000, and can you log in
with the default admin user (password: admin)?

Hmm... Interesting. It all seems to work now. Also, re-running rake
spec only give 16 errors instead of the usual (> 300).

Here are the first 4:

1)
NoMethodError in 'SearchesController Forum post searches should search
by post body'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.include?
./spec/models/../matchers/custom_model_matchers.rb:134:in `matches?'
./spec/controllers/searches_controller_spec.rb:148:

2)
NoMethodError in 'SearchesController Forum post searches should search
by topic name'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.include?
./spec/models/../matchers/custom_model_matchers.rb:134:in `matches?'
./spec/controllers/searches_controller_spec.rb:162:

3)
'SearchesController Forum post searches should render with a post div' FAILED
Expected at least 1 element matching "div[class='forum']", found 0.
<false> is not true.
./spec/controllers/searches_controller_spec.rb:167:

4)
'SearchesController Forum post searches should render with a topic link' FAILED
Expected at least 1 element matching
"a[href='/forums/953125641/topics/953125641#post_119261968']", found
0.
<false> is not true.
./spec/controllers/searches_controller_spec.rb:174:

Maybe rake spec needs the sample data before running?

Thanks,

Paul

Glad your main problem got worked out.

These search errors look to me like the system is running the search specs but can't connect to a copy of the sphinx daemon (searchd).

Before it runs tests on sphinx, the insoshi specs code checks to see whether a searchd process is running on your machine.  If it is, it assumes it's a test instance of sphinx and will run the tests.   So, if you're running only a development instance of searchd, the tests will run but fail to connect to sphinx and you'll see errors like the ones below.  It's not generally a problem and doesn't interfere with the function of the site.

This can happen if you haven't configured and started up sphinx in the test environment (i.e.  rake ultrasphinx:configure RAILS_ENV=test; rake ultrasphinx:start RAILS_ENV=test), but you *have* started sphinx in the development or production environment.

(I've also had this happen if, for example, I have another Rails application on my machine that is running sphinx - insoshi's tests will detect that copy of searchd, try to run, and fail.)

I may have to migrate the search module from ultrasphinx to thinking_sphinx  one of these days.  Thinking_sphinx has a nice test module that allows automatic starting and stopping of the correct daemon from inside the spec files, it's very handy.
