I have some tests that I need to run all the time to check if everything works, and I also have some tests for ES, as for example this, that checks if sorting on a python script works: script = { 'script': "len(doc['ideas'])", 'lang': 'python', 'order': 'asc', } # this only necessary to make sure we are using an updated version CON.refresh() sort = {'sort': {'\_script': script}} res = search(self.user\_query, sort=sort) res.total # FIXME: this only works sometimes, makes it work all the times self.assertEqual(res[0]['name'], 'Joe Tester') Now it's quite annoying because even with the refresh this test doesn't always pass, but maybe half of the times only. I suspect it's just a timing issue, but also adding sleeps here and there doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there some other way to tell to just force refreshing it somehow? thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hello, If you use pyes, you might need to specify the index name when refreshing. Something like: CON.refresh(indices=["test-index"]) You can also put in a sleep there, if you're in for dirty hacks: CON.refresh(indices=["test-index"], timesleep=1) And depending on your version, you'll probably want to move to CON.indices.refresh() instead of CON.refresh(), since the latter is deprecated. ## Best regards, Radu [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) -- Elasticsearch -- Solr -- Lucene On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 1:40 PM, andrea crotti [andrea.crotti.0@gmail.com](mailto:andrea.crotti.0@gmail.com)wrote: > I have some tests that I need to run all the time to check if everything > works, and I also have some tests for ES, as for example this, > that checks if sorting on a python script works: > > script = { > 'script': "len(doc['ideas'])", > 'lang': 'python', > 'order': 'asc', > } > > # this only necessary to make sure we are using an updated version > > CON.refresh() > sort = {'sort': {'\_script': script}} > res = search(self.user\_query, sort=sort) > res.total > > # FIXME: this only works sometimes, makes it work all the times > > self.assertEqual(res[0]['name'], 'Joe Tester') > > Now it's quite annoying because even with the refresh this test doesn't > always pass, but maybe half of the times only. > I suspect it's just a timing issue, but also adding sleeps here and there > doesn't seem to make a difference. > Is there some other way to tell to just force refreshing it somehow? > thanks > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
