Spotlight search malfunction after upgrade about senaite.core HOT 2 CLOSED

@ramonski That's totally makes sense and helps a lot! I absolutely forgot about this legacy adapter!

thank you very much!

Hi Leo,
thanks for sharing the traceback.

The issue above happens when a metadata (aka column) field hass a missing value, which is an instance of class Missing and it is part of the listing_searchable_text index.

As far as I remember, you extended the search terms for this index with an adapter?

This was probably the changeset that caused your error:
https://github.com/senaite/senaite.core/pull/2273/files

However, with this change we no longer use get_searchable_text_tokens from senaite.core.catalog.utils, which in fact used these Metadata columns.

Therefore, if you extend the search, avoid using this function, because it might give you these Missing values back and cause the above mentioned error.

Besides that, if you simply reindex an index in the catalog, the Metadata is not recreated. But if you save an object, it will reindex all indexes + metadata.

Hope that sheds some light into your issue.
