I am trying to configure Solr for Sitecore 8.2. Solr is running and I have cores set up for each index and secondary cores set up for rebuilding. I'm not using the Solr support package.

I am getting the following error when trying to browse the site:

Could not create instance of type: Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SwitchOnRebuildSolrSearchIndex. No matching constructor was found.

I'm guessing, it's a configuration problem. However, I can't get to showconfig.aspx to see what the issue might be.

Below is the patch config for the indexes:

<indexes>
  <index id="sitecore_core_index" type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SolrSearchIndex, Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider">

I had exactly the same issue as you and for me it was a really small change to the patching that fixed it:

Instead of: 

<index id="sitecore_core_index" type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SolrSearchIndex, Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider">
    <patch:attribute name="type" value="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SwitchOnRebuildSolrSearchIndex, Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider"/>
    <param desc="core">SitecoreSandbox_core</param>
    <param patch:after="*[@desc='core']" desc="rebuildcore">SitecoreSandbox_core_2</param>
</index>

Do this: 

<index id="sitecore_core_index">
    <patch:attribute name="type" value="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SwitchOnRebuildSolrSearchIndex, Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider"/>
    <param desc="core">SitecoreSandbox_core</param>
    <param patch:after="*[@desc='core']" desc="rebuildcore">SitecoreSandbox_core_2</param>
</index>

notice that in the first line <index id=..... I removed the type attribute. Its a strange thing, but that fixed it when I tried.

    that's weird, the config in question works fine for me in 8.1 and 8.2 with or without the "type".

  • unfortunately that did not fix it. I must have something else going on.

It turns out there were 2 issues I was having:

  1. Because I was customizing the core names I needed to include a node for sitecore_analytics_index. Based on this blog post I had left the node out thinking it wasn't needed.
  2. Patch config order. My include file was getting patched too soon so the correct core names were not getting used.

  • Fixing the patch config order fixed it for me. <param desc="rebuildcore" patch:after="param[@desc='core']">$(id)_rebuild</param>
