Using sunspot gem and solr for indexing search results

Question

Using rails 3.0.6 , ruby 1.9.3

Gemfile (pasted as per info needed)

gem 'rails', '3.0.6',

gem 'rake', '0.9.2'

gem 'sunspot_rails'

gem 'sunspot_solr'

gem 'progress_bar'

I have set up the model as such in user.rb

Sunspot.setup(User) do
  text :resume_body, :stored => true
  text :job_title, :stored => true
 end

and then i have used

class CandidatesController < ApplicationController

  def index
    @search = Sunspot.search(User) do
      # Full text on resume body and job title with highlighting
      keywords params[:q] do
        highlight :resume_body, :max_snippets => 3, :fragment_size => 120, :merge_contiguous_fragments => true
      end

Whenever i run rake tasks such as bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:reindex rake sunspot:reindex

it throws error

Error

    bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:reindex --trace
Your Gemfile lists the gem rspec-rails (>= 2.0.0.beta.19) more than once.
You should probably keep only one of them.
While it's not a problem now, it could cause errors if you change the version of just one of them later.
Your Gemfile lists the gem mysql2 (~> 0.2.22) more than once.

Anyhelp to point a newbie to a right direction would be very much appreciated . Thanks in advance , i very much intend to use sunspot in production too :)

This might help you to get ride .....

Steps for Sunspot Quick Start :

1. Add this gem to your gemfile

   gem 'sunspot_rails'
   

2. Install this gem using

   bundle install
   

3. start solr using this command

   rake sunspot:solr:start
   

4. For a simple example, consider a Post model with a title field and a content field. We will index these fields as Solr text fields.

   rake sunspot:solr:reindex
   

5. Here's a simple search against the Post class that we indexed above, running from the index action of the PostsController:

   class PostsController < ApplicationController
    def index
      @search = Post.search do
        keywords params[:query]
      end
      @posts = @search.results
    end
   end
   

6. Thats all now we can use @posts variable in our view for index action. Results will come accordingly

Note: This is just a simplest example to understanding flow and get started with sunspot solr indexing and searching ... there are many other options which should be used according to our requirement.
