Mellisearch in strapi always requires to reload but does nothing. about strapi-plugin-meilisearch

[bidoubiwa]

Hey @karanbasik
This is totaly unexpected. Could you show me the console output of your browser?

[karanbasik]

@bidoubiwa, Browser console isn't of much help either :(

[bidoubiwa]

So, some of the collections are correctly added and hooked? But not all of them?

[karanbasik]

Yup, some get hooked instantly while others require a reload. Reloading it on dev mode also doesn't work.

[karanbasik]

Any insights? @bidoubiwa

[bidoubiwa]

Hey @karanbasik

We are in a rush week with the release of the new Meilisearch version. I'll come back to you asap to further investigate :)

[karanbasik]

Hi @bidoubiwa, it's still an issue we're facing. Would love to sit down with your team and resolve this so it doesn't happen to anyone else ;)

[bidoubiwa]

Hey @karanbasik ! Sorry for the delay. Are these all regular collections?

[bidoubiwa]

Additionally, could you try again, fetch the tasks, and provide them here? https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/reference/api/tasks#get-tasks

[karanbasik]

Hi @bidoubiwa, I was off for the last week, sorry about it.

Are these all regular collections?

I don't quite get what do you mean by regular collections. But I'll try answering them. They are not single type collection, in that way - they are regular collections. Some collections do contain dynamic components and simple components inside them as well.

Additionally, could you try again, fetch the tasks, and provide them here?

I added user collection to be indexed, it returned with the usual "Reload required". But looking at meilisearch's tasks response, it seems like the user collection has been indexed successfully.

@bidoubiwa any update on this ?

[bidoubiwa]

I'm sorry, a lot of work to do currently! When you uncheck other categories, are you able to check those that are not working right now?

[karanbasik]

Ah yes. It looks like there's a limit on how many collections we can index. Unchecked some categories and I was able to check other categories. Is it a bug or is it intended to be that way?

[bidoubiwa]

Good news is we'r getting closer to understanding your issue. Bad news is that I can still not reproduce it:

What database are you using ?

[karanbasik]

Ah shoot. We're using PostgreSQL 15.1. I'll explain a bit more on what our collections contain so maybe we can figure it out that way.

• We have collections that have only normal fields (text, slug, numbers and bools)
• We have collections that has dynamic zones
• We have collections that has relations inside dynamic zone (though i am not interested in indexing this to meilisearch), something like this:
  

We also had an issue with strapi once where our table names where huge so it crashed. But we fixed it by having very bad and weird acronyms like EspArt, GamArt. Got in touch with strapi and reported the bug to them.

[karanbasik]

@bidoubiwa anything we can do? It's been a while.

[bidoubiwa]

Hey @karanbasik and @AquamanRanda. We found the problem! Sorry, it took so long 😅 It was an issue in Meilisearch introducing pagination in the indexes. It should be fixed soon and released before the end of the week.
