I'm working on a project that involves searching for words in files (https://github.com/BogomolML/searchEngine). After writing all the necessary code, I encountered a problem with reindexing. After debugging, I realized that my init and build_index functions were not being called. I suspect this is related to a singleton issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I tried changing the singleton and creating a new object: def singleton(cls): instances = {} def wrapper(*args, **kwargs): force_new = kwargs.pop('force_new', False) if force_new or cls not in instances: instances[cls] = cls(*args, **kwargs) return instances[cls] return wrapper I also tried writing a rebuild method, where I called the same methods from within the class. When I try to create a minimal reproducible example, everything seems to work fine for me, so I am not sure where the problem might be. I am using a Singleton pattern so that when I create objects in different parts of my program, I can still access a shared dictionary. Continue reading...
