Hi, In some test code I add a custom content type called School. Then I check if it has been added to the portal catalog. And I call a function in a PAS plugin that searches for a School within the catalog and does something with that. This all works. Tests pass. I am happy. But in practice it somehow does not work. In the portal_catalog within the ZMI I can clearly see that a School is present in the catalog. But the code in my PAS plugin does not find it. And in a zopectl debug session I also cannot find it. Here is some code I use. Product is another custom content type. cat = getToolByName(self, 'portal_catalog') assert(len(cat()) > 5) assert(len(cat(portal_type='Product')) > 5) assert(len(cat(portal_type='School')) > 0) The first two assertions pass, so the catalog seems to be functioning properly. The last assertion fails. Can anyone think of a reason why this could happen? Should I add some more parameters to the catalog call? Should I use searchResults instead, or queryCatalog? This is on Plone 3.0 btw, with Zope 2.10.5. CMFPlone overwrites the default CatalogTool from zope, so I thought about asking on a plone list instead. But since it *does* go correct in the tests I thought it was probably not something Plone specific. Feel free to direct me to a different list though. :) Thanks, -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [NL] Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "Do not worry about your difficulties in computers, I can assure you mine are still greater."
