whoosh_search() returns empty - sqlalchemy

Question

Tutorial at http://pythonhosted.org/Flask-WhooshAlchemy/ works for me.
Here's my setup
class Post(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'post'
__searchable__ = ['body']
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
body = db.Column(db.String)
Results:
If I do not put whoosh_index() before whoosh_search(), I get the error:
AttributeError: 'BaseQuery' object has no attribute 'whoosh_search'
db.session.query(Post).filter(Post.body=='hi') returns the correct output.
Post.query.whooshee_search('hi') returns empty
I did leave some code out, like additional columns and backrefs, but I don't think that changes anything
There are a few things to note:
Tutorial worked fine without whoosh_index(), but my code threw error
when I did not include it.
db.session.query(Post).filter() code worked fine, indicating my model is at least somewhat correct, and there is something wrong with whoosh/my whoosh setup
Please help, thanks

Answer 1

I too was facing the same issue as Post.query.whoosh_search('post').all() returned empty list all the time.
I found that it can be solved with using the specific versions specified here
https://github.com/gyllstromk/Flask-WhooshAlchemy/blob/master/requirements.txt
I was using following versions:
Flask==0.10.1
Flask-SQLAlchemy-2.1
Whoosh-2.7.2
blinker-1.4
I replaced them with:
**Flask==0.10.1**
**Flask-SQLAlchemy==1.0**
**Whoosh==2.6.0**
**blinker==1.3**
I will update here once I find exactly which upgrade causes this problem and why.
