Hi, I have an ES plugin that basically intercepts POST requests on a specific path and builds ES queries depending on the post data before executing these and returning a result. I have some unit tests that create a local node to tests the queries. My problem is that it loads my plugin which I do not want. Is there any way I can avoid that ? Perhaps with some specific settings ? Here's how I'm currently getting the test es client: NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().local(true).node().client() The reason I do not want it to load the plugin is that it creates two instances of the plugin: one in the tests and one in the local node. Thanks Regards, Laurent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

This has been in flux a bit lately but the last time I checked you had to intentionally load plugins by adding something like this to your test: /\*\* \* Enable plugin loading. \*/ @Override protected Settings nodeSettings(int nodeOrdinal) { return ImmutableSettings.builder().put(super.nodeSettings(nodeOrdinal)) .put("plugins." + PluginsService.LOAD\_PLUGIN\_FROM\_CLASSPATH, true).build(); } I imagine you could always set that to false. I believe it'd be important to add this annotation to your test though: @ElasticsearchIntegrationTest.ClusterScope(scope = ElasticsearchIntegrationTest.Scope.SUITE, transportClientRatio = 0.0) so that the cluster you build without your plugin doesn't get reused for other tests that need your plugin.

You can disable loading plugins by using a custom class loader that only points to the 'lib' folder of the ES home, or includes the Elasticsearch jars from dependency path, respectively. Settings clientSettings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder() .classLoader(yourcustomclassloader), ...); NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().local(true).settings(clientSettings).build(); ...

Exactly what I was looking for. Works like a charm 🙂 BTW, i do not use ElasticsearchIntegrationTest. Maybe I should but as tests were written in version 0.90.3 I haven't had the time to upgrade them and use the new testing framework. I'm not sure how much time this would take. Anyway thanks for your help ! regards, Laurent On Monday, November 3, 2014 6:57:50 PM UTC+1, Nikolas Everett wrote: > This has been in flux a bit lately but the last time I checked you had to > intentionally load plugins by adding something like this to your test: > /\*\* > \* Enable plugin loading. > \*/ > @Override > protected Settings nodeSettings(int nodeOrdinal) { > return > ImmutableSettings.builder().put(super.nodeSettings(nodeOrdinal)) > .put("plugins." + > PluginsService.LOAD\_PLUGIN\_FROM\_CLASSPATH, true).build(); > } > > I imagine you could always set that to false. > > I believe it'd be important to add this annotation to your test though: > @ElasticsearchIntegrationTest.ClusterScope(scope = > ElasticsearchIntegrationTest.Scope.SUITE, transportClientRatio = 0.0) > so that the cluster you build without your plugin doesn't get reused for > other tests that need your plugin. > > Nik > > On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 12:50 PM, Laurent T. \<[lau.t...@gmail.com](mailto:lau.t...@gmail.com) > \\> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I have an ES plugin that basically intercepts POST requests on a specific > > path and builds ES queries depending on the post data before executing > > these and returning a result. > > I have some unit tests that create a local node to tests the queries.
