Reindex fails when using API key limited by suffix

[Spone]

• Rails version: any
• Algolia Rails integration version: 1.22.0
• Algolia Client Version: 1.26.0

Description

When calling .reindex on a model, a temporary index is created, with the .tmp prefix.
In my case, I'm limiting my API keys access to a specific index name pattern (*_development for instance), so the reindex fails because the .tmp index can't be accessed.

Steps To Reproduce

• Create an API key limited to *_development
• Create a model such as Page, when the corresponding index name is Page_development
• Call Page.reindex and see it fail

I'm not sure what the best way to handle this case is... maybe always allow the .tmp-prefixed models for any API key?

There is a note in the doc about that here: https://www.algolia.com/doc/framework-integration/rails/indices/#atomical-reindexing I kept it in the [new version].

Do you have any idea about to make it clearer? I could add an example like:

You must allow ['*_development', '*_development.tmp']

I simply did not see it... 😕

Maybe mention it in the error message? I was confused and double checked my API keys a few times before understanding the issue...
