Sunspot_Rails Gem - " Errno:: Econnrefused (Connection Refused - Connect (2)) "

sunspot_rails gem - Errno:: ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused - connect (2))

Have you started the Solr server?

rake sunspot:solr:start

If not than start the solr server first

And If yes than try

rake sunspot:solr:run

Hope this will help .

connection rejected from solr in Rspec

Your before(:all) probably just isn't giving Solr enough time to start.

That said, you'll probably want to think hard about just what you're asking your specs to verify here. You can go a long way with mocking out calls to Solr with a library like Fakeweb.

Pivotal Labs also has a library called sunspot_matchers that can capture more fine-grained assertions about the searches you're invoking.

If you are going for real integration specs against Solr, I advise just keeping a test Solr running while you work. A tool like Foreman can help manage your Solr proceses. I might use a Procfile like the following:

solr_dev:  rake sunspot:solr:run RAILS_ENV=development
solr_test: rake sunspot:solr:run RAILS_ENV=test

(Development is, of course, the default environment if no RAILS_ENV is otherwise provided to foreman start)

Finally, if you want to start Solr within your specs, you're already on the right track. Just toss a sleep in there with enough time to let Solr fully boot itself before your specs start running. Don't be surprised if that introduces a bit of unpredictable failure into your spec suite when the system is under load.

[Edit: Quick and dirty before :all which uses Sunspot.remove_all to poll for availability.]

before :all do
  `sunspot-solr start`
  begin
    Sunspot.remove_all!
  rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED
    sleep 1 && retry
  end
end

rails RSolr::Error::ConnectionRefused: Connection refused error

I've forgot to run the command

rake sunspot:solr:run

Hope that helps someone new with sunspot/solr such as myself
