Scorched

Scorched is a sunburnt offspring and like all offspring it tries to make things better or at least different.

Git Repository and issue tracker: https://github.com/lugensa/scorched

Documentation: http://scorched.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Following some major differences:

• No validation of queries in client code (make code much more lightweight)
• Send and receive as json. (Faster 20k docs from 6.5s to 1.3s)
• API is more lightweight e.g. add consumes now only dicts.
• Wildcard search strings need to be explicitly set.
• Python 3
• Drops support for Solr < 4.3.0
• ...

Local testing

We changed to pytest and pytest-docker to spin-off the tests.

The account on your os under which you run the tests should have permissions to start docker processes.

First checkout the sources:

https://github.com/lugensa/scorched.git

Now use tox for testing:

cd scorched
tox

Additionally use pytest directly:

cd scorched
python3.10 -mvenv .
./bin/pip install -e .[test]
./bin/pytest ./scorched

Running the tests will start a solr-8.11.1 in docker (see scorched/tests/docker-compose.yml).
