Hello Forest, I installed Forest Admin for my Rails app. I get all the data but the search and filter features don’t work.
I am searching in the “words” collection for “voiture” and the search returns the default list of data. If I add a filter _Content Is “voiture”_, I get the same result.
The account name is “Dictionnaire”. I use rails 6.0.3.1 and Postgres (pg 1.2.3).
Thanks for your help!

Hi @nico_lrx,
Welcome to our new forum 🤗
Could you share the `forest_liana` gem version you are currently using?
Thanks for your help.

Hi @arnaud,
I use forest\_liana (5.2.0).
Thanks!

Hello @nico_lrx 👋
I couldn’t reproduce your issue on my end.
I’m using the following:
ruby: 2.5.0
rails: 6.0.3.1
forest-rails: 5.2.2
Do you still encounter the issue ?
Steve.

I upgraded to forest-rails: 5.2.2 and I still encounter the issue. I use activerecord 6.0.3.2, I remember I had to downgrade to an earlier activerecord version a few months ago to make Forest work, is there still an issue with the last version of activerecord?

Hello @nico_lrx,
I personally don’t know if there is a compatibility issue of Forest Admin with the latest versions of `activerecord`. Could you try to downgrade to help us isolate a potential compatibility issue and investigate?
Thank you.

Hey, in fact, I’m not sure if it was with activerecord (the slack discussion isn’t accessible anymore). I have another app running on Rails 5.2 and it works fine. I tried to downgrade to a former version of forest\_liana but I still can’t navigate through the data, search it and filter it. Unfortunately, I can’t downgrade to a former Rails version 😕

Hey @nico_lrx !
Do you have any logs on your server or in browser ?

I just have this in logs when I load the Word collection but nothing else when I perform a search, use the page navigation at the bottom or set a filter:

Hi @nico_lrx,
And is there any request sent by the front when doing the search or setting a filter ? If yes can you show us what is sent 🙂

Hi @anon62739609, apparently there is no request sent by the front in logs.

I can’t find any reason why this could happen. Could you please share a video reproducing your issue with the network tab open 🤔 ?

Okey so i’ll need the request send to `session.bugnag.com` this mean there is an error 🤔
Plus I’ll need the request send on `/Words` once you click to open the second page

Here is what I have in my production logs file when I click to open the second page:
When I search for [session.bugnag.com](http://session.bugnag.com) in the logs, I don’t find anything. How can I retrieve this request? 🤔
Thanks!

Sorry there is an `s` at the end: [sessions.busnag.com](http://sessions.busnag.com)
And I’ll need the network logs from the browser not the request received by your server 😉

Here are two screenshots from the network tab, not sure if that’s what you need:
