Initial index creation and indexing about meilisearch-rails HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @crespire!

What is the configuration of your model? Because you're creating an index called Resource and the error shows a different name, PressRelease.

You can tweak the name of the index if you want (just take a look at the readme) :)

Sorry, I forgot to edit the error message. The model name is PressRelease but changed to Resource in sample code. That being said, I believe this particular issue was a file system persistence issue.

I'm still interested to hear about solutions for an initial index population in Rails, as that is the core problem I'm trying to solve.

Ok, so first, I think you don't need the two client calls you did in the first place meilisearch-rails automatically creates the index for you.

Plus, I'm thinking about the after_initialize you opted for. You're probably loading the index somewhere else before triggering your reindex.

Hmm, I will investigate. We've pursued the solution of running an after-deploy rake task to reindex as part of our deployment process, so I'll close the issue now.

Thanks @brunoocasali, appreciate your time and assistance!
