8 years ago Yeah apparently you cant add a boolean field to an index i retested and when i do i get a zope location error even when i try to add the field index to the bool in dmd so looks like i may need to do a custom catalog with bool index and i may see if category index works because that seems really useful assuming it works with zenoss.
Hopefully someone can try to add a index on a bool to confirm. It didnt cause an error on reload it caused an error when i tried to index an object or during a model
i tried to add a index for a boolean field and I think that is causing a wierd issue. i looked at the zcatalog docs briefly and the implementation of the "monitored" index on the default component search and it looks like there is an index created for a boolean field but not a column ... I also noticed that there may be a different type of index for a boolean in zcat docs but i didnt read it thoroughly.
basically, i just need to search on a boolean in the catalog rather than have to use a string for it....I think what I need to do is to exclude that field from zenpacklib and add it in as a index only and not a column in my init but I wanted to see if the error im seeing can be duplicated.
basically when i go to model after adding a field index to a field boolean i get a zope location error during modeling.
also I did add this index after the fact and the second question I have is if i add a new field to the catalog Im assuming i need to write a migrate script to manually add it to existing devices or move them in and out of the model class?
