"Query has no attribute 'whoosh_search" AttributeError in Flask + Whoosh + SQLAlchemy
I was getting the same error, and then when i re-read the docs, i noticed that creating a post is one of the steps to being able to whoosh_search:
For example, the table needs to be indexed by whoosh first (docs):
Let’s create a post:db.session.add( BlogPost(title='My cool title', content='This is the first post.')); db.session.commit()After the session is committed, our new BlogPost is indexed. Similarly, if the post is deleted, it will be removed from the Whoosh index.
Is there a way to add existing db.table to a whoosh index? One solution is to re-insert all rows; this post seems to give directions, but also claims that whooshalchemy is not maintained.
I have always just used Flask-SQLAlchemy, but not SQLAlchemy directly.
With Flask-SQLAlchemy I would query the Restaurant table like so:
Restaurant.query.whoosh_search('foo')From the SQLAlchemy docs, it looks like you need to do something like this:
q = session.query(Restaurant) result = q.whooshee_search(query).all()
