crash on adding a new index

I've the same bug, I upgrated from alpha-15 to alpha-16, the error appears when create a new index or edit it, and change datasources or bundles too. Any idea or clue to solve the problem?

The second problem is after create/edit an index, this appears, but the "Index now" options is disabled, and I couldn't see any node to be indexed, the progress bar show me 0/0 Indexed.

Hi!
I also faced this problem. As I suppose the module update has missed hook_update_N function. As a primary solution try to reinstall module, the one helped me.

During the alpha phase, we don't provide an upgrade path.

For those who need this schema update, here it is!
Just run drush updb and be happy!

don't look to be a support request but a real bug, if schema has changed in current versions, it should be expected to have schema updated for older versions as well through hook_update_n

@lucasgrecco, please review guidelines to submit a patch at https://www.drupal.org/patch/submit

It is explicitly mentioned that we don't support an upgrade path while still in alpha phase. Sorry that you feel this is a bug, but since it's well documented this is a support request.

I'll leave this open for @drunken monkey to decide, but I'd prefer not to start putting in update hooks before the beta release, even if it's provided. We won't add update hooks for other api breaking things, during alpha, so that would create a really odd way of working.

In any case, this is not a bug report, because we stated that update hooks will not be provided.

I also think that we'd need to write tests for update hooks as well, similar to how core does it. Not sure about other's opinions about that though.

If this will get in, there's a couple of issues with the patch:

Thanks, Joris, for handling this!
Please, everyone, read the release notes and just do such necessary changes manually when updating.
