Full-text search indexing failing

Support
1

I’m experimenting with Rhodecode 5, and am getting errors trying to set up the simple Whoosh based indexing. I think I see the problem but not familiar enough with the codebase to suggest a fix.

Rhodecode 5.5.0 CE / rcstack 5.26.0

The rcstack cli cmd rhodecode-index command fails with a ‘server reported’ error. The more interesting stack trace is in the rhodecode server logs. There appears to be a mismatch between the get_repo_file representing file paths as a string, and the git/hg backends expecting file paths to be bytes.

Client logs

ERROR Calling method get_repo_file. Server reported: failed to get repo: bli/bgptest file at path docs/usage.rst
