How to check if sphinx has warnings?

[joshweir]

results = MyModel.search 'pancakes'

How to determine if the above search resulted in sphinx warnings, and collect these warnings? Calling sphinx directly I would call: SHOW WARNINGS;. My understanding is if the call errors, an exception will be raised: ThinkingSphinx::SphinxError - or an exception within the ThinkingSphinx module namespace - but I couldn't find anything in the documentation about warnings.

Warnings aren't something that's been neatly mapped to TS at this point, but the way to get the data is something like the following:

results = MyModel.search "pancakes", :populate => true
# or, instead of the populate argument, do something that involves
# looking at the contents of results, thus forcing the query to Sphinx
# to take place.

warnings = nil
ThinkingSphinx::Connection.take { |connection|
  # This query operates on the context of the most recent search call
  warnings = connection.execute("SHOW WARNINGS").to_a
}
