reoponing issue #19 : Type drop-down not populating using ElasticSearch 0.90.2

[parmeshwor11]

Type drop-down is not populating list of elasticsearch types in an index. In my case for some small index it shows the available Types but for larger index containing many Types the dropdown list is blank. As in image.

Could you gist up the output of curl -XGET localhost:9200/_mapping ?

Also, what version of Elasticsearch are you running? If you have firebug (or similar developer console installed), do you see any javascript errors?

[jeacott]

for me -ES 1.0.1 once I select an index the Type dropdown populates, but it ALWAYS says "mappings" it never has the actual types that should be available so I never get any results, even for matchall :(

[scoolen]

Same thing happens in 0.90.3:

  "ok" : true,
  "status" : 200,
  "name" : "precise64",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "0.90.3",
    "build_hash" : "5c38d6076448b899d758f29443329571e2522410",
    "build_timestamp" : "2013-08-06T13:18:31Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "4.4"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

@scoolen Could you gist/paste a copy of curl -XGET localhost:9200/_mapping somewhere so I can take a look?

[scoolen]

No, sorry. It is a private platform so I cannot disclose mapping data. What information are you looking for? Maybe I can paste parts of it.

[polyfractal]

Ah, ok. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just wanted to see if there were oddities in the syntax/field names that might be causing problems. Or missing types which might mess up the JS code.

Do you have firebug installed (or using chrome)? Any errors on the console?

[scoolen]

Initially 5 request are fired:

GET http://...:9200/_plugin/inquisitor/views/queries.html 200 OK
GET http://...:9200/_mapping 200 OK
GET http://...:9200/_mapping 200 OK
GET http://...:9200/_aliases 200 OK
GET http://...:9200/_aliases 200 OK

The mapping JSON looks fine. Top-level keys are the index names. The alias call also returns the correct aliases for every index (the aliases are keys of an empty object).

However, when I hit refresh I get an error:

Error: $scope.indicies is undefined
DropdownCtrl/$scope.loadMappings/<@http://...:9200/_plugin/inquisitor/js/controllers/DropdownCtrl.js:17

Hmm, that's bizarre that it works at first then stops...

When I get a chance, I'll install 0.90.3 and see if I can recreate the issue with some combination of indices and templates. Thanks for the error message, that should help isolating the problem.

[scoolen]

Sorry, I meant Reload (the button), not refresh

[cread]

We're seeing the same problem on 0.90.11

When selecting an Index and hitting the "Reload" button we get the following error in the Javascript Console:

I get the same as above 'Cannot set property 'length' of undefined' on 0.90.5.

Type dropdown doesn't populate.

[mwalsher]

Any update on this issue? I'm experiencing the same problem with 0.90.5

[polyfractal]

Hi Everyone...I'm afraid I don't have time to look into this right now. Swamped with work.

If someone were willing to break out a debugger and look into this, I'd happily merge a PR!

[dqduc]

I created pull #34 & #35 to fix Error: $scope.indicies is undefined, Cannot set property 'length'. There's a mistyping 'indicies' (should be 'indices' ) and some changes in response structure, causing javascript errors. It now worked with my ES 0.90.11 instance

[polyfractal]

Thanks for the PRs! I'll try these out this weekend. Do you know offhand if they work for 1.0+ ?

If not, I'll need to split branches so that we can have both pre- and post-1.0 support.

(although everyone should really upgrade to 1.0+...0.90.x is ancient at this point)

[polyfractal]

Thanks for the PRs @dqduc! I've merged both #34 and #35 into the new 0.90.x branch: https://github.com/polyfractal/elasticsearch-inquisitor/commits/0.90.x

All breaking-change related code will have to go into 0.90.x to prevent it from breaking 1.0+. I don't plan on supporting/maintaining 0.90.x, but I'll happily merge PRs from the community.

Master will remain 1.0+

Thanks again! Really appreciate the help with older versions!

[dqduc]

Yes split branches is good choice. Some systems like what I maintaining is still using 0.90.x as it need time to upgrade (both the service & application). So 0.90.x branch is still useful. Thanks

[erunion]

How do we install the 0.90.x branch?

Oh, hm. I wonder if the ability to install individual versions came after 0.90.x? On my 1.3.4 install:
