Algolia::AlgoliaProtocolError with rspec

[mmhan]

I started receiving Algolia::AlgoliaProtocolError after upgrading from 1.17.0 to 1.19.1. I have tested with 1.18.0 and it works.

Full stack trace is below.

Failure/Error: @listing = FactoryGirl.create :used_car_listing, user_id: another_user.id

Did you anonymise the logs by replacing your appid with XXX? Otherwise, it looks like your application id is not well configured.

Could you try to ping <Your application ID>.algolia.net to check if it resolves well? Looks like the DNS resolution is behind; maybe you tried "too quickly" after signup and now your ISP cached a wrong DNS record?

[mmhan]

"XXX" is the app id I left in for test environment. Am I suppose to put actual APP ID for testing environment as well? It used to work as if in earlier versions since I explicitly declared not to do any indexing in test environment.

t used to work as if in earlier versions since I explicitly declared not to do any indexing in test environment.

Could you share with us how do define that?

[mmhan]

I simply used

algoliasearch per_environment: true, disable_indexing: Rails.env.test?

And also I have Figaro gem that adds environment variables.
