Can SolrNet client run at a different machine from solr server?

Question

I set up a solr server running in Tomcat in machine 192.168.0.113(Centos 5.5). And I deploy a website in matchine 192.168.0.114(Windows server 2003). I use solrnet in matchine 192.168.0.114. The full code like bellow(which have been edited thanks to @Paige Cook):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using SolrNet;
using NUnit.Framework;
using SolrNet.Attributes;
using SolrNet.Commands.Parameters;
using Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation;
namespace MySolrNet
{
    public class Video
    {
        private string videoid;
        [SolrField("videoid")]
        public string Videoid
        {
            get { return videoid; }
            set { videoid = value; }
        }

        private string videoname;
        [SolrField("videoname")]
        public string Videoname
        {
            get { return videoname; }
            set { videoname = value; }
        }
        private string videoorigin;
        [SolrField("videoorigin")]
        public string Videoorigin
        {
            get { return videoorigin; }
            set { videoorigin = value; }
        }
        public Video(string id, string name, string origin)
        {
            this.Videoid = id;
            this.Videoname = name;
            this.Videoorigin = origin;
        }
        public Video()
        {

        }
        public void FixtureSetup()
        {
            Startup.Init<Video>("http://192.168.0.113:8070/solr");
        }
        public void Add()
        {
            Video p = new Video("1", "test video", "Solr Test");
            ISolrOperations<Video> solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ISolrOperations<Video>>();
            solr.Add(p);
            solr.Commit();
        }
    }

    [TestFixture]
    public class VideoTests
    {
        [TestFixtureSetUp]
        public void FixtureSetup()
        {
            Startup.Init<Video>("http://192.168.0.113:8070/solr");
        }
        [Test]
        public void Add()
        {
            Video p = new Video("1", "test video", "Solr Test");
            ISolrOperations<Video> solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ISolrOperations<Video>>();
            solr.Add(p);
            solr.Commit();
        }
        [Test]
        public void Query()
        {
            ISolrOperations<Video> solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ISolrOperations<Video>>();
            SolrQueryResults<Video> results = solr.Query(new SolrQueryByField("videoid", "33013"));
            Assert.AreEqual(1, results.Count);
            Console.WriteLine(results[0].Videoname);
        }
    }
}

However,both Add and Query test fail. It complains: TestFixture failed: SetUp : System.IO.FileLoadException : Could not load file or assembly“SolrNet, Version=0.4.0.2002, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bc21753e8aa334cb” Or one of its dependencies.

But I have add reference to Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.dll and SolrNet.dll in my projoect,is there any other dll files I just miss?

By the way,,I can access my solr sever in browser with this url:http://192.168.0.113:8070/solr.

Can anyone tell me:

1. Can I run solrnet and solr in different machines?
2. How to do it.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Can you check your project setup as suggested by Paige? Do you have SolrNet source code added as project reference in your solution? If you are using the dll, can you paste your .csproj file contents? If it is urgent, download the source code and add as project reference in your solution until you figure out the issue.

Answer 2

Thanks for posting the code. The first thing I see is that you are using the test class as the class type to pass data to Solr. Split those out, that might be causing some issues. I would suggest the following:

public class Video
{
    private string videoid;
    [SolrField("videoid")]
    public string Videoid
    {
        get { return videoid; }
        set { videoid = value; }
    }

    private string videoname;
    [SolrField("videoname")]
    public string Videoname
    {
        get { return videoname; }
        set { videoname = value; }
    }
    private string videoorigin;
    [SolrField("videoorigin")]
    public string Videoorigin
    {
        get { return videoorigin; }
        set { videoorigin = value; }
    }
}

[TestFixture]
public class VideoTests
{
    [TestFixtureSetUp]
    public void FixtureSetup()
    {
        Startup.Init<Video>("http://192.168.0.113/solr");
    }
  [Test]
    public void Add() {
        Video p = new Video("1","test video","Solr Test");
        ISolrOperations<Video> solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ISolrOperations<Video>>();
        solr.Add(p);
        solr.Commit();
    }
    [Test]
    public void Query()
    {
        ISolrOperations<Video> solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ISolrOperations<Video>>();
        SolrQueryResults<Video> results = solr.Query(new SolrQueryByField("videoid", "33013"));
        Assert.AreEqual(1, results.Count);
        Console.WriteLine(results[0].Videoname);
    }        
}

Update: Try this in a console application and see if it works...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using SolrNet;
using Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation;
namespace Test1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Startup.Init<Video>("http://192.168.0.113:8070/solr");
            var solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ISolrOperations<Video>>();

            var video = new Video("1", "test", "test");
            solr.Add(video);
            solr.Commit();

            var results = solr.Query(SolrQuery.All);
            Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1} - {2}",
                results[0].Videoid, results[0].Videoname, results[0].Videoorigin);
        }
    }
    public class Video
    {
        public Video(string id, string name, string origin)
        {
            Videoid = id;
            Videoname = name;
            Videoorigin = origin;
        }

        public string Videoid { get; set; 
        public string Videoname { get; set; }
       public string Videoorigin { get; set; }
    }
}

Answer 3

I don't understand why you're using two different URLs when you Init Solr. Try changing the URL in Paige's application to the one you posted in your original question:

http://192.168.0.113:8070/solr
