I've implemented search in my application using Scout and the tntsearch driver. Locally it works great. After deploying to production I noticed that search was not returning anything.
I opened up a console and tried to run the php artisan scout:import and php artisan tntsearch:import commands but get an error from artisan that says these commands are not found.
I'm assuming there is some production level step that I'm missing?
I don't know your Git setup, but is vendor published already on production.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Scout\ScoutServiceProvider"
Seems it should be. You may try a new install if needed, but backup any custom code first just in case.
I actually think the problem may be that I'm hosting on Heroku and the commands can't create the .index file in the storage directory.
Is there a way to config scout and tntsearch to use an AWS bucket?
See this answer, older but should still apply. https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/tntsearch-driver-laravel-scout
And I don't use AWS, but perhaps they have some help articles.
