Attributes not filterable

[azngeek]

Description I have setup Meilisearch using the instasearch plugin using the following configurations:

instantsearch.widgets.refinementList({ container: "#enabled-list", attribute: "gender" }), and this is the configuration in strapi

module.exports = () => ({ //... meilisearch: { config: { profile: { settings: { filterableAttributes: ['confirmed', 'gender'] } } } } })

Expected behavior

I expect that the attributes 'confirmed' and 'gender' are filterable.

Current behavior

Meilisearch tells me that the attributes are not filterable.

Screenshots or Logs If applicable, add screenshots or logs to help explain your problem.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Debian
• Meilisearch version: 0.30.5
• strapi-plugin-meilisearch version: ^0.8.2
• Browser: Chrome 108
• Strapi version: 4.5.5

Hey @azngeek, can I see your Meilisearch plugin configuration in Strapi?

[azngeek]

Sure,

it is this one

module.exports = () => ({
    //...
    meilisearch: {
        config: {
            profile: {
                settings: {
                    filterableAttributes: ['confirmed', 'gender'], // add categories to filterable attributes.
                }
            }
        }
    }
})

I tried it locally and it seems to work for me. There are two possible reasons for me you might have this bug:

• Is it possible that your collection is profiles and not profile ?
• Is it possible that you removed the collection from Meilisearch without restarting your server and then added a document?

Can you check and uncheck profile in the Meilisearch dashboard page?

Thanks for the feedback. I got the error. It was because i used a typescript based setup instead of vanilla js. The name of the plugin file must be plugin.ts instead of plugin.js.

Perfect! Closing this as it seems to be solved :)
