Thinking-Sphinx doesn't index anything.

Question

My environment:

Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard
Ruby 1.9.2p0
Rails 3.0.0
thinking-sphinx (2.0.0.rc1)
Sphinx 0.9.9-release (r2117)

So far I haven't really been able to get anything to work.

pma:log pma$ rake thinking_sphinx:index

I do have indexes defined in a model at app/models/instruction.rb

define index do
  indexes title
  indexes description
end

They seem to be totally ignored though.

Solutions anyone?

Answer 1

Not sure if it's a typo, but define index should be define_index
