sunspot_rails not re-indexing model after save

Question

I have a model which deploys a delayed job that updates some of its attributes. The model is declared \"searchable\"...

searchable do
  text :content, :store         


        

Answer 1

The index will only reflect changes after Sunspot.commit is called. This happens automatically when you run rake sunspot:reindex.

Sunspot's Rails plugin also has a auto_commit_after_request config option which will call Sunspot.commit_if_dirty after every request but this will not be triggered by your background processes.

Your best bet is to call Sunspot.commit_if_dirty after as the last thing in your delayed job.
