Im following the install instructions as per the haystack documentation http://docs.haystacksearch.org/en/master/tutorial.html#installation and the search engine installation https://django-haystack.readthedocs.io/en/master/installing_search_engines.html#elasticsearch
I have installed Elasticsearch 5.1.16 which is listed as compatible and have put the settings in, the installation guide only has examples for Elasticsearch versions 1 and 2 but states that 5 is supported.
so I changed to version 5 in the settings
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.elasticsearch5_backend.Elasticsearch5SearchEngine',
'URL': 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/',
'INDEX_NAME': 'haystack',
},
}
I have also gone through the repo and can see that version 5 is in there
but when I start my server I receive the error:
return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'haystack.backends.elasticsearch5_backend'
but then when I traverse the folder structure it hasn't installed the version 5 files
root@4c1197e002e8:/myapp/# ls /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/haystack/backends/
__init__.py __pycache__/ elasticsearch2_backend.py elasticsearch_backend.py simple_backend.py solr_backend.py whoosh_backend.py
and im using the same version as the git repo that has the 5 backend in it?
root@4c1197e002e8:/myapp/# pip freeze | grep hay django-haystack==2.8.1
EDIT: its also already installed into my installed apps:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.humanize',
'haystack',
...
anyone help me out whats missing here? Thanks
I just did a pip install git+https://github.com/django-haystack/django-haystack
and now the version5
backend is in there.
