I have installed thinking sphinx and after running rake ts:index , it fails to configure the development file. The file is created, but it is empty.

Tasks: TOP => ts:index
I am not sure if this is related to my user_index.rb under the indices folder.
ThinkingSphinx::Index.define :user, :with => :active_record do
# fields
indexes content
indexes user.name, :as => :user, :sortable => true
# attributes
has user_id, created_at, updated_at, ethnicity, religion
end
Here's my thinking_sphinx.yml file:
development:
mysql41: 9312
test:
mysql41: 9313
production:
mysql41: 9312
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This error, while not clear, is due to one of your attribute references being not quite correct... If you're indexing the User model, then I'm guessing there isn't an association on it called user - so, user_id should just be id, and user.name should just be name:
ThinkingSphinx::Index.define :user, :with => :active_record do
# fields
indexes content
indexes name, :as => :user, :sortable => true
# attributes
has id, created_at, updated_at, ethnicity, religion
end
