Xapian not available

[sakman1010]

Redmine and DMSF work properly but DMSF Full Text Search Option does not work. Indexing command work properly and my files are successfully indexing. It is "Xapian not available" on DMSF plugin screen settings. Any ideas what can be wrong? Thanks.

I think that Xapian binding is probably missing. Have you installed ruby-xapian package?

[sakman1010]

When i listed installed packages, "ruby-xapian" has already installed.

[picman]

Hm, that's strange. The only packages related to Xapian I've installed are ruby-xapian and xapian-omega. The code responsible for the warning message looks like follows.

<% begin %>
  <% require 'xapian' %>
  <% xapian_disabled = false %>
<% rescue LoadError %>
  <p class="warning"><%= l(:warning_xapian_not_available) %></p> 
  <% xapian_disabled = true %>
<% end %>

So, 'require xapian' failed. But the reason is unknown for me, I'm afraid.

[picman]

No feedback => closing.

Hey, I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install ruby-xapian Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done ruby-xapian is already the newest version (1.2.22-2build1).

$ irb 2.3.3 :001 > require 'xapian' => true 2.3.3 :002 > exit

Packages installed as per your documentation on current Ubuntu 16.04. Still the message pops up, see: https://i.imgur.com/stXbsoP.png

Thx for your help

[picman]

Could you modify _app/view/settings/dmsfsettings.html.erb as follows and post the warning message from the production.log please?

280     <% begin %>
281     <% require 'xapian' %>
282     <% xapian_disabled = false %>
283 -   <% rescue LoadError %>
    +    <% rescue LoadError => e %>
284      <p class="warning"><%= l(:warning_xapian_not_available) %></p>
    +    <% Rails.logger.warn e.message %>
285      <% xapian_disabled = true %>
286     <% end %>

The file you wanted me to edit is located in REDMINE_ROOT/plugins/redmine_dmsf/app/views/settings/_dmsf_settings.html.erb for me.

I edited the file, restarted nginx - and the error message went away. I reverted the change, restarted nginx and the error was there again. I just changed line 283 to + <% rescue LoadError => e %>, restarted nginx and the error went away. I reverted this change and the error came up again.

Uhm...

Edit 1: Okay, after some changeing things here and there - the error seems to appear randomly. I'll reload the page as often as I can to provoke the error and geht it to appear in the log.

Edit 2:

No Xapian search engine interface for Ruby installed => Full-text search won't be available. Install a ruby-xapian package or an alternative Xapian binding (https://xapian.org).

Same problem

apt list --installed | grep xapi ruby-xapian/trusty,now 1.2.16-2ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic] xapian-omega/trusty,now 1.2.16-1 amd64 [installed]

Perhaps version mismatch problem? Should error message then be more descriptive?

My redmine installation is bitnami-redmine-4.2.1-3.

[picman]

Hm, I don't know, sorry. Maybe you can try to install it from sources https://xapian.org/. Otherwise, I don't know...

[uart-aplex]

I refer to this webpage to install, https://xapian.org/docs/install.html

And the old version of DMSF did not have this problem before, I'll go back and install the old version first.

Thanks.

[uart-aplex]

After testing, it is found that this problem has occurred since V2.4.8, and there is no problem with V2.4.7 and previous versions.

I have the same problem with Redmine version 5.0.3 running as redmine:5.0.3-bullseye container and DMSF plugin version 3.0.5.
