Impossible to index attachment in nested entity reference

Can confirm that the patch in #17 also applies perfectly to Drupal 9.5.3 (saa 9.0.0). Hope this will be commited in the next stable release.

Hello.

It's work's with the patch into Drupal Core 10.0.9 and Search API attachments 9.0.1.

Thanks you.

We've been using patch #17 for some time now and it's working fine!

Hello,

Patch #17 works fine.

For the ones like me who didn't know how it works:
This patch creates a new field under the file entity itself called "Search API attachments: extracted file".

This is Node => Paragraph => Media => File:

field_downloads:entity:field_files:entity:field_media_file:entity:search_api_attachments_extracted_file

Patch #17 works for me on Search API attachments 9.0.3, but looks like it needs work. I added a field to extract text from a media file and set "Get contents of text attachments directly using file_get_contents." to true, but when the content (and file) are indexed ExtractedFileFieldItemList plugin is invoked and calls $files_extractor_processor FilesExtractor and the configuration is empty. If I force the the test for read_text_files_directly to pass, the text is extracted and indexed ok, but there is a problem with the config not propagating.

Resolved config issue in extractOrGetFromCache() by fetching config in the same way as already done in addFieldValues. Not sure if that's how it should be, but it is working for me on Drupal 10.3.2 and Search API attachments 9.0.3.

@jonathan_hunt, seem to work with my D10.3.6 and search_api_attachments 9.0.5.
Great job!

Hello,

I am working on a Drupal 11 site and using the Paragraphs module to structure content. I have added a Paragraph type called "Attachments", which allows for uploading multiple files. However, I am unable to index this field in Solr using the Search API Attachments module.

The field appears on the page at:

admin/config/search/search-api/index/main_index/fields/add/nojs

But, when trying to select it, the field content is not available for indexing. I can easily select other properties like the file name, but not the actual file content itself.

I am using the following version of the module:

https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_attachments/issues/3474910 ✨ Drupal 11 Ready Needs review

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or found a workaround for indexing these attachment fields in Solr? Any pointers on where I could potentially hardcode a solution?

Thank you in advance for your help!

This patch is compatible with Search API Attachment 9.0.6

Reroll patch for 10.0.x

With the good patch, it works better

geoffreyr → changed the visibility of the branch 3008580-impossible-to-index to hidden.

We've been working with patch #17 in this issue for some time. I've rerolled #30 against the 9.0.x branch and created a merge request.

This MR's approach of using a computed field to provide the files to SearchAPI is interesting, but I don't think it's the right way.

We've got multiple issues that are all to do with 'how to get files out of the entity':

- this one, about paragraphs
- layout builder: ✨ Make it possible to index attachments from index only fields that don't exist on the entity Active
- files linked in body text: ✨ Plugin type to allow other ways to determine files to be indexed Active

I think the approach needed is to have FilesProcessor hand over to a set of plugins which handle 'getting a PDF file from the current entity'. There's an MR for that over at ✨ Plugin type to allow other ways to determine files to be indexed Active

Re-rolled patch for 10.0.5.

Re-rolled #29 for 10.0.5, fixing previous patch in #36.

Sorry about the train wreck here. Now re-rolled for #30 (which I missed noticing was for 10.0.x), fixing previous patch in #37.
