I’m having this same problem with rake solr:start

undefined method `closed?’ for nil:NilClass

the ruby version:
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i486-linux]

@adedip That “nil.close?” error is actually a ruby bug. Update your 1.8.7 ruby to the latest patchlevel!!

I’m having trouble with one of the steps above:

p -R apache-solr-nightly/example/solr/lib resume/vendor/plugins/acts_as_solr/solr/solr/

The problem is, the directory doesn’t exist: there is no /example/solr/lib directory in the nightly build. When I grab a build from the link above, and look under apache-solr-1.5-dev/example/solr there is a /bin /conf and /data directory, but no lib

Also, acts_as_solr/solr/solr doesn’t contain a lib directory either.

Which files should appear in the lib directory in the nightly build? Am I replacing files with the same name in the plugin, or adding files which aren’t there already?

Any help would be much appreciated. This tutorial is exactly what I’ve been looking for, and I can’t quite get it to work.

@Vijay:

You seem to be running Rails on windows. Fork is not implemented. Hence heres a hack for your problem:

1. Open \resume\vendor\plugins\acts_as_solr\tasks\solr.rake
2. Add this before the def env_array_to_constants(env):

desc ‘Starts Solr. on windows . Options accepted: RAILS_ENV=your_env, PORT=XX. Defaults to development if none.’
task :start_win do
require “#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/../../config/solr_environment.rb”
begin
n = Net::HTTP.new(‘localhost’, SOLR_PORT)
n.request_head(‘/’).value

rescue Net::HTTPServerException #responding
puts “Port #{SOLR_PORT} in use” and return

rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED #not responding
Dir.chdir(SOLR_PATH) do
exec “java -Dsolr.data.dir=solr/data/#{ENV['RAILS_ENV']} -Djetty.port=#{SOLR_PORT} -jar start.jar”
sleep(5)
puts “#{ENV['RAILS_ENV']} Solr started sucessfuly on #{SOLR_PORT}, pid: #{pid}.”
end
end
end

3. Make sure u run rake solr:start_win
4. Cheers
