I had a working set with groovy scripts on my Elastic server. Upgraded and no errors when running all as usual. Now I notice scripts dont execute or do anything. I copy the script files and Elastic compiles them fine. Any help? I dont configure anything in config for scripts now. Console ```auto GET _scripts { "error": { "root_cause": [ { "type": "illegal_argument_exception", "reason": "No endpoint or operation is available at [_scripts]" } ], "type": "illegal_argument_exception", "reason": "No endpoint or operation is available at [_scripts]" }, "status": 400 } ``` Start msg ```auto [2016-11-09T15:48:10,782][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [kraftwerk] initializing ...

Thank you for the reply. I also using NEST 5.0-rc for C# calling and trying to execute the scripts. Last version you got an error when the scripts failed. Now I think they just dont execute. Could be a nest error but likely something I missed in the configs. ---

> I tried that just now, got notFound sorry, I forgot that `GET _scripts/...` only applies to STORED scripts (which are scripts stored in the cluster state in contrast to file-based scripts), so the request is not supposed to work. Regarding issue where script is not executed by requests, are there any exceptions happening? Have you had a look at the Elasticsearch logs? Can you provide a query example? ---

Nothing, no errors on server or in client.

what's the output then? How does it differ from the expected output? I don't understand what you mean by "scripts not being executed". ---

Well there would presumably change in the field that I update with values. So no change happens when running the script with +1. This worked fine before. Trying painless as well with no succes. Oh could be related. I will have to try build this. > ---

Can you provide a minimal example to reproduce? I tried the following: - created script with name `increment-me.groovy`: ```auto ctx._source.bar += 1 ``` - script gets automatically compiled at startup: ```auto [2016-11-09T16:27:44,615][INFO][o.e.s.ScriptService] [GB3s55V] compiling script file [~/elasticsearch-5.0/config/scripts/increment-me.groovy] ``` - added a document: ```auto curl -XPOST localhost:9200/test/doc/1 -d ' { "bar": 1 }' ``` - ran update script a few times with: ```auto curl -XPOST localhost:9200/test/doc/1/_update -d ' { "script" : { "file": "increment-me", "lang": "groovy" } }' ``` - document is properly updated. ---

Yes that just doesn't happen for me with NEST. Before I could get an error when the field was wrong in the script, now nothing making me believe scripts are just not run at all. I tried your way from the console and it works fine! So something with Nest then. Thank you for all help! It is so good to know where to point the effort even if we didnt solve the issue fully. ---
