Searchkick::InvalidQueryError 400 error running elasticsearch/searchkick in cloud9?

I run elastic search in cloud9 with the command

./elasticsearch -E http.port=8081

i then check the status by running curl

 curl 127.0.0.1:8081

It returns 

{
  "name" : "JgfOdbe",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "cluster_uuid" : "zELSmBAIStOB1VNaOz1C-Q",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "6.1.1",
    "build_hash" : "bd92e7f",
    "build_date" : "2017-12-17T20:23:25.338Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "7.1.0",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Now i create book scaffold and create few books

In books controller i create a test method

def index
    @books = Book.search("test", fields: [:title])
end

When i call index action it returns the error

Searchkick::InvalidQueryError in BooksController#index

I have pasted below the error image

enter image description here

I wonder the reason for this error. It seems the syntax is right. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

Solution

  • I believe there are two problems that you need to fix:

    Configure the Elasticsearch endpoint

    Since you're using a different port (8081) than the default (9200), you should set the ELASTICSEARCH_URL environment variable to that port:

    ENV["ELASTICSEARCH_URL"] = "http://localhost:8081"

    The documentation about that is here: https://github.com/ankane/searchkick#deployment

    Importing your data

    After that, you need to get the data from your models to Elasticsearch, by reindexing it with:

    Book.reindex

    The docs are also here: https://github.com/ankane/searchkick#getting-started
