Update function fails: "msg":"Unknown command 'id' at [5]"

[LaughingBubba]

Hi there, I'm not sure if I'm invoking the update() function correctly or not. The add() function works. Interestingly though, the add() seems to work like a replace????

There's no example of an update in the docs either.

Running the code below >>>

const solr = require('solr-client')

const solr_client = solr.createClient({host:'localhost', core:'test'})

const items = [
	{id: 1, text:'apple'},
	{id: 2, text:'orange'},
	{id: 3, text:'pears, oranges and apples'}
]

main()

async function main() {
	console.log("add:", await solr_client.add(items))
	console.log("commit:", await solr_client.commit())
	
	console.log("update:", await solr_client.update({id: 3, text:'cantaloupe'}))
	console.log("commit:", await solr_client.commit())
}

/*
Update schema:   
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' --data-binary '{
  "add-field": [
  {
	"name": "text",
	"type": "text_general"
	"indexed": true,
	"required": true,
  }]
}' http://localhost:8983/solr/test/schema
*/

Results in this output:

add: { responseHeader: { status: 0, QTime: 31 } }
commit: { responseHeader: { status: 0, QTime: 119 } }

            throw new Error(`Request HTTP error ${response.statusCode}: ${text}`);

Never mind. I don't need to update as I proved that solr "upserts" documents a'la mongo. I ditched the client when I realised its a wrapper for some fairly simple REST calls back to the solr server. superagent was sufficient for my needs.

eg:

await superagent
	.post('http://localhost:8983/solr/mycore/update?commit=true')
	.set('Content-type', 'application/json')
	.send({add: solr_docs})
