Search by collection returns `null` for `productVariantAsset` even though set in admin dashboard about vendure HOT 13 CLOSED

Noting this here for later investigation: perhaps this is related to a recent change in the indexing logic, which in turn is being patched by the following PR

• #2883

from vendure.

That indicates some potential issue in configuration perhaps. Is this the DefaultSearchPlugin? Index updates are well covered in our e2e test suite, so I'd be surprised if this is a bug in the plugin itself.

Can you share your config for the search plugin? And if you are able to create a minimal reproduction from a clean installation, that would help a lot.

@michaelbromley I have the same issue. The key "productVariantAsset" is always null. Clearing the search_index_item table and reindexing products does not help. It turned out to reproduce the problem in a newly created project with pre-installed data in SQLite.
My config for the search plugin:

DefaultSearchPlugin.init({ bufferUpdates: false, indexStockStatus: true }),

from vendure.

This was fixed by the PR mentioned above. Will be available in the next patch release.

As a temporary fix, we were able to manually set the productVariantPreview and productVariantAssetId on search_index_item in the database. Obviously, we don't want to do this every time ;)

I tried looking into the cause of this issue, but couldn't fully understand the indexing code in Vendure 😅

Is the worker running and updating the search index on changes to the entities?

from vendure.

Yeah, looks like it ran successfully:

However, it did not update the search index when running the search query

from vendure.

OK, and if you update other properties of the product/variant, such as slug, name, etc, are these successfully reflected in the search result after the worker job completes?

from vendure.

Nope, doesn't look like it:

In Vendure:

This is the config we're using:

// ...
    DefaultSearchPlugin.init({ bufferUpdates: false, indexStockStatus: true }),
// ...

It's a weird one, since I remember this working at least a version or 2 ago

Awesome, thank you!!

I am facing the same issue. When can we expect this patch release, please?
