Description
While working in the improve tests PR, #80, we realized that the search parameters like attributesToRetrieve
can't handle a list of strings. you should be able to pass a list of fields, not just a single field or '*'.
The test we did and failed was:
def test_basic_search_params_with_string_list(self):
"""Tests search with string list in query params"""
response = self.index.search(
'a',
{
'limit': 5,
'attributesToRetrieve': ['title', 'overview'],
}
)
assert isinstance(response, object)
assert len(response['hits']) == 5
assert "title" in response['hits'][0]
assert "overview" in response['hits'][0]
assert not "release_date" in response['hits'][0]
And the error shows that MeiliSearch response is sending all the fields
E AssertionError: assert not 'release_date' in {'id': '537915', 'overview': 'A young woman falls for a guy with a dark secret and the two embark on a rocky relationship.', 'poster': 'https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1280/u3B2YKUjWABcxXZ6Nm9h10hLUbh.jpg', 'release_date': 1554944400, ...}
THIS TEST SHOULD BE ADDED WHEN ISSUE IS FIXED
