Smart Search Cron CLI running but not indexing

[sarahuk]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a cron job to reindex Smart Search Index. The reason we need this is that when an EDocman document is unpublished or deleted the index doesn't automatically update, so we end up with lots of out of date results.

/usr/local/bin/php /home/xxxxx/public_html/cli/joomla.php finder:index

We can see that the cron fired off:

Jun 9 11:45:01 server CROND[3743693]: (xxxxx) CMD (/usr/local/bin/php /home/xxxxx/public_html/cli/joomla.php finder:index)

We also tried running it manually at the command line and it returns the following output:
[xxxxx@server ~]$ /usr/local/bin/php /home/xxxxx/public_html/cli/joomla.php finder:index
Finder Indexer

Starting Indexer
Setting up Smart Search plugins
Setup 4150 items in 0.037 seconds.

In route.php line 271:

Call to undefined method Joomla\CMS\Application\ConsoleApplication::getMenu()

finder:index [--minproctime MINPROCTIME] [--pause PAUSE] [--divisor DIVISOR] [--live-site [LIVE-SITE]] [-h|--help] [-q|--quiet] [-v|vv|vvv|--verbose] [-V|--version] [--ansi] [--no-ansi] [-n|--no-interaction] [--] <command> [<purge>]

[xxxxx@server ~]$

Also, is it possible to purge and then reindex, or does Joomla 4 do that automatically? We tried

/usr/local/bin/php /home/xxxxx/public_html/cli/joomla.php finder:index --purge
which failed and

/usr/local/bin/php /home/xxxxx/public_html/cli/joomla.php finder:index purge
which purged but didn't reindex

Indexing works fine when you reindex from the Smart Search component. It's just running it at the command line or via a cron job that fails.

Joomla 4.3.2
PHP 8.1.19

Thank you
Sarah

Where is this route.php?

Did you get this to work with automatic indexer by cron or Joomla itself Task Scheduler? https://magazine.joomla.org/all-issues/ ... -scheduler

It would help to see the full stack trace. I think Joomla\CMS\Application\ConsoleApplication::getMenu() points to librararies/src/Application/ConsoleApplication.php which does not contain a getMenu method but it might be inherited.
