Error in search backends when uploading an Image

See original GitHub issue

Issue Summary

So when I am uploading an image with postgres database, I get an error and get stuck on an Image Chooser

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wagtail/search/backends/database/postgres/postgres.py", line 126, in title
    for current_field, boost, value in self.prepare_field(self.obj, field):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wagtail/search/backends/database/postgres/postgres.py", line 63, in prepare_field
    get_weight(field.boost),
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wagtail/search/backends/database/postgres/weights.py", line 59, in get_weight
    return weight
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'weight' referenced before assignment

I think it’s a quick fix, so no need to explain it more 😉

Ohhhh… Found it! wagtail.search was not added to INSTALLED_APPS setting, so everything was falling apart. I tried to override CustomImages search_fields and got relation "wagtailsearch_indexentry" does not exist, so I wondered if wagtail.search is even installed…

No, I already used wagtail 3 with postgres database, everything is working as expected…

this would have come up many times before

Yeeah, that’s true, it was strange for me that I couldn’t find anything about this… I’m using a wagtail-pipit template for my project, so there’s a lot of code changes… Maybe a custom Image model is causing problems? But I didn’t yet change anything in it…

That’s a strange bug because nothing is changed about search… What can cause this?

Update: Custom Image model is not causing any problems 😄
