I am trying to use Haystack and Whoosh with my Django app. I followed the steps on Haystack docs, but i am getting this error when i do a search

AttributeError at /search/
'module' object has no attribute 'get_model'

search_indexes.py -

import datetime
from haystack import indexes
from movies.models import Movieclass MovieIndex(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable):text = indexes.CharField(document=True, use_template=True)title = indexes.CharField(model_attr='title')def get_model(self):return Moviedef index_queryset(self, using=None):"""Used when the entire index for model is updated."""return self.get_model().objects.all()

I couldn't find help on this error anywhere, what am i doing wrong?

That looks to me like a compatibility issue between the version of Haystack and Django. Django recently reworked the get_model system (I think in 1.9), so if you've upgraded Django and not Haystack - or perhaps vice-versa - that may be the issue.

I'm guessing the get_model() references in your index file are a potential red-herring, and that the issue is within the Haystack internals, as it's not able to find that method where it expects to.
