[ckan-dev] SOLR errors on travis tests

Tue Apr 26 14:20:54 UTC 2016

I've seen SOLR 404 errors cause a number of CKAN test failures when
running on Travis, but they run fine on our local machines. Does
anyone know about this problem?

e.g. https://travis-ci.org/ckan/ckanext-harvest/jobs/125635755

SearchIndexError: Solr returned an error: 404 Not Found -

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
<title>Error 404 NOT_FOUND</title>

<body><h2>HTTP ERROR 404</h2>
<p>Problem accessing /solr/ckan/update. Reason:

I found a note from Adria about a similar problem in 2013:
https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-dev/2013-November/006176.html
but the particular package version mentioned there is being installed correctly.
