hi,
in my Product I trying to programmatically create an index. like so:
myCatalog.addIndex('id', 'FieldIndex'), this works fine, but when I try to specify the indexed-attribute like so:
myCatalog.addIndex('name_sort','FieldIndex', extra={'indexed_attrs': 'name'})
the new index does not include the indexed_attrs. This is because the __init__ of Products/PluginIndexes/common/UnIndex.py expects for extra an instance of the HTTPRequest.py record-class. and does not support the mapping interface for extra. Is this a bug or feature ?
Not a bug. As the doc say it expects a record object but not a mapping although a mapping would be more elegant if you want to create indexes through Python and not TTW. Please file a collector issue for this feature request. There is already some code in TXNG that handles both record-style and mapping-like arguments. -aj
