Searchkick not returning any results in RSpec
Try getting rid of all of that fancy stuff you are doing in your before(:suite) and your factories. You just need to be doing it before each spec (if the search tag is set).
I was able to get searchkick working with rspec and indexing my models with only this small amount of code in my spec_helper.rb:
RSpec.configure do |config| config.before(:each) do |example| # Elasticsearch / Searchkick if example.metadata[:search] Searchkick.enable_callbacks Restaurant.reindex else Searchkick.disable_callbacks end endendSide note: You may still need to run the Restaurant.search_index.refresh code after creating a bunch of Restaurant records in your spec setup. I'm not entirely sure?
