@hartviglarsen I have the same problem with the locking. Any ideas of the best solution please?

@hartviglarsen
I'm getting a conflict on type on this line - it says it can't convert an IEnumerable<Product> to Product
index.IndexItems(_productValueSetBuilder.GetValueSets(products));

@hartviglarsen I have the same problem with the locking. Any ideas of the best solution please?

@sebwells
This is my code which stops the locking problem:

` public void Initialize()
{
//we want to tell examine to use a different fs lock instead of the default NativeFSFileLock which could cause problems if the AppDomain
//terminates and in some rare cases would only allow unlocking of the file if IIS is forcefully terminated. Instead we'll rely on the simplefslock
//which simply checks the existence of the lock file
DirectoryFactory.DefaultLockFactory = d =>
{
var simpleFsLockFactory = new NoPrefixSimpleFsLockFactory(d);
return simpleFsLockFactory;
};
foreach (var index in _orderIndexCreator.Create())
{
if (index is LuceneIndex luceneIndex)
{
var dir = luceneIndex.GetLuceneDirectory();
if (IndexWriter.IsLocked(dir))
{
//_logger.Info(typeof(ExamineExtensions), "Forcing index {IndexerName} to be unlocked since it was left in a locked state", luceneIndex.Name);
IndexWriter.Unlock(dir);
}
}
_examineManager.AddIndex(index);

        }


    }

`

I am not quite sure what the solution is apart from what has already been described (unlocking the index manually). I really suggest that you reach out to Shannon (Shazwazza) if are still having issues - my experience with Examine in V8 is still quite limited. :)

Thanks Morten, I’ve updated Umbraco.PDF for V8 so I’m sure I’ll get some feedback when Shannon reviews that PR. Thanks for this gist, it’s been super helpful.

Please don't manually unlock the index. There should be no need to do this and if it's locked then we need to figure out why since this will be covering up another issue. The usage of CreateFileSystemLuceneDirectory makes sure that the correct lucene lock policy is used and then we already unlock all LuceneIndex's on startup based on this locking policy. The above code abides by this.

With all my tests locally I cannot replicate indexes being locked on restart or anything.

Am currently trying to figure this out with @hartviglarsen if he can replicate.

Any news on this with index's not getting unlocked? :)

It should be fixed in Umbraco 8.1.2. Evan Moore

Following the example... I got System.InvalidOperationException: 'Unable to resolve type: Umbraco.Web.Search.ExamineComponent, service name: OMG.... I'm getting mad to migrate to V8 ! :-)
