Hello

I have the following simple test case and I am trying to figure out why the document count does not work?

I can see in the logs the following.

[2017-01-23T22:59:03,039][DEBUG][p.ServiceIntTest] [-1] docs indexed. waiting for [1]  
[2017-01-23T22:59:04,039][DEBUG][p.ServiceIntTest] [-1] docs indexed. waiting for [1]

Am I missing the point of what waitForDocs(1); is used for?

Thanks  
Paul

## sample code

```
package pdw;

import static org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentFactory.jsonBuilder;

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Date;

import org.elasticsearch.action.index.IndexResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.Client;
import org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Settings;
import org.elasticsearch.test.ESIntegTestCase;
import org.elasticsearch.test.ESIntegTestCase.ClusterScope;
import org.elasticsearch.test.ESIntegTestCase.Scope;
import org.elasticsearch.test.junit.annotations.TestLogging;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@TestLogging("_root:DEBUG")
@ClusterScope(scope = Scope.SUITE)
@RunWith(com.carrotsearch.randomizedtesting.RandomizedRunner.class)
public class ServiceIntTest extends ESIntegTestCase {

	private Client client;
	
	@Override
	protected Settings nodeSettings(int nodeOrdinal) {
		return Settings.builder().put(super.nodeSettings(nodeOrdinal)).build();
	}

	@Before
	public void setUp() throws Exception {
		super.setUp();
		client = ESIntegTestCase.client();
		setUpTestData(client);
	}
	
	private void setUpTestData(Client client) throws Exception {

		createIndex("twitter");
		refresh("twitter");
		IndexResponse response = client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet", "1")
		        .setSource(jsonBuilder()
		                    .startObject()
		                        .field("user", "kimchy")
		                        .field("postDate", new Date())
		                        .field("message", "trying out Elasticsearch")
		                    .endObject()
		                  )
		        .get();	
				
		refresh("twitter");
		waitForDocs(1);
		ensureGreen();
	}

	@Test
	public void testDocsCount() throws ParseException {
		Assert.assertTrue(true);
	}
}
```

I've not used `waitForDocs`. `refresh` is synchronous though.

Thanks @nik9000 I settled on using the [elasticsearch-maven-plugin](https://github.com/alexcojocaru/elasticsearch-maven-plugin).

Based on some of your comments on other Threads it seems testing against a "real" node is the preferred way to go.

Everything works like I expect it to now. I'd recommend the plugin, it works great.

Thanks for the feedback.
