Flying Sphinx rebuild error - rake aborted! can't dup NilClass

I am running into an error that I don't understand in production, when I do:

heroku run rake fs:rebuild --app myapp --trace

I am getting this error:

rake aborted!
can't dup NilClass

Below is the full trace. Everything works fine in my dev environment.

Can someone offer help on debugging or let me know if you've come across this before?

    Hi Mark

    Firstly: I'd highly recommend upgrading flying-sphinx to 1.0.0, as it's far more reliable than the earlier releases. The version of Thinking Sphinx you're using may need to be upgraded as well though to ensure things are working smoothly (to at least 2.1.0 if you're using a 2.x release).

    Secondly: I'm pretty sure this bug is dealt with in flying-sphinx 1.0.0, but it's an indication that the expected ENV variables don't seem to exist. Can you run heroku config for your app and confirm that there are four variables with the FLYING_SPHINX_ prefix?

    Thanks

    Pat

    Hi Pat,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I've updated my gemfile to flying sphinx 1.0.0 and thinking sphinx 2.1.0, but now get this new error:

    Hi Mark

    Just coming back to the second point of my previous message - do the FLYING_SPHINX_* config variables exist in your app?

  4. #4 Posted by Mark Walker on 13 Jan, 2014 10:49 PM

    Hi Pat,

    No, it doesn't seem those variables do exist right now.

    How can I restore them?

    Thanks

    It would seem your app doesn't have the Flying Sphinx add-on added at the moment - I'm not sure how that's the case (I don't have the ability to remove an add-on from a customer's app). You'll need to re-add it, and then run the rebuild task and you should be fine.

    Ok thanks, I'll see why it's been removed and ensure it gets added back in.
