Hi all,

I've put on GitHub a small project that can be helpful for those who need  
to do JUNIT tests with elasticsearch. It helps to instantiate nodes and  
clients and take care of index and mappings creation in a less programmatic  
manner than usual.

This is how it looks like:

@RunWith(ElasticsearchRunner.class)  
public class MyTest {  
@ElasticsearchClient  
Client client;  
@Test  
@ElasticsearchIndex(indexName = "library",  
mappings = {  
@ElasticsearchMapping(typeName = "book",  
properties = {  
@ElasticsearchMappingField(name = "title", store = Store.Yes, type =  
Types.String),  
@ElasticsearchMappingField(name = "author", store = Store.Yes, type =  
Types.String)  
})  
})  
public void myFirstTestMethod(){  
... test stuff...  
}  
}

More documentation and source code can be found on GitHub project page:

> **[tlrx/elasticsearch-test](https://github.com/tlrx/elasticsearch-test)**
>
> elasticsearch-test, a framework that makes elasticsearch unit testing a breeze.

In the hope that it may be useful,

Regards,

Great stuff, can you add it to the clients and integrations page?

Hi,

Just to let you know - version 0.0.5 of this test library for JUnit &  
Elasticsearch has been released on OSS maven repositories.

I (and other folks) use it on production and it works well. I hope it will  
be helpful for other people as well :o)

HI Tanguy,

Is this library still maintained for the newer versions of ES, for example  
1.4.0?

Thanks,  
Ramin
