SearchableText has 'none' instead of text values

Plone Support
1

I'm trying to get make some fields searhcable with collective.dexteritytextindexer. When I look at SearchableText, the title and description are updated but after that says 'none'. ie ['Title','description', 'none']. The plonesite has other content types that do work.

  • Plone 5.2.
  • Python 3.7.6

I have the content-type class defined in Python, and but the schema model in xml.

profiles/default/types/presentation.xml:

Likely an edgecase where the content of a text field is None (possibly unsaved or unintialized) and then converted using str(None) ....somewhere within the indexer.

I would try to debug the issue: start an interactive session (bin/{instance|client1} debug), locate the object (app.unrestrictedTraverse(path/to/object)), single step though the indexer adapter for the object.

Thanks for the responses! I figured it out.

So, because I have IEventBasic on my content-type as well, IEventBasic's searchable_text_indexer was running instead of collective.dexteritytextindexer's dynamic_searchable_text_indexer.

In my profiles/default/types/presentation.xml, the behaviors had to be in this order, for dexterity text indexer to work.

  <element value="collective.dexteritytextindexer.behavior.IDexterityTextIndexer"/>
  <element value="plone.app.event.dx.behaviors.IEventBasic"/>

Now SearchableText is working as desired.
