SearchWorks Solr Index Tests¶ ↑

A ruby “application” for testing the Stanford University Libraries SearchWorks Solr index, using rspec-solr and rsolr gems.

The main reason this is in publicly accessible web space is to allow it to serve as an exemplar for folks who want to use rspec-solr or who want to figure out a way to automate testing searches against a Solr index.

Usage¶ ↑

If you wish to create a similar app for YOUR Solr index, you can fork this project or do something like the following:

Copy the following files:¶ ↑

• Rakefile

• Gemfile

• spec/spec_helper.rb

Choose a way to pass your solr baseurl to the app¶ ↑

Use a command line argument:

rake passing URL=http://your_solr_baseurl

Use a config file

copy config/solr.yml from this project

If you wish to keep your solr url out of a remote git repo, you can do this:

git update-index --assume-unchanged config/solr.yml
NOTE: in spec/spec_helper.rb, line 10 or shows the default expected yml group is "test"

Write specs for YOUR Solr index!¶ ↑

There are lots of examples in the spec folder.

See rspec-solr Gem documentation for the full syntax. Documentation around here somewhere:

• rubydoc.info/github/sul-dlss/rspec-solr

• github.com/sul-dlss/rspec-solr/blob/master/MATCHERS.rdoc

• github.com/sul-dlss/rspec-solr
