I'm trying to index documents from a Spring Boot application to a local Elasticsearch Docker container using the these gradle dependencies. `compile('org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:6.5.1')` `compile('org.elasticsearch.client:transport:6.5.1')` However, with these dependencies i cannot run my application. My IntelliJ IDEA Event Log returns the following error: `Error running 'MyBackendApplication': Command line is too long. Shorten command line for MyBackendApplication or also for Spring Boot default configuration.` After some googeling, i have tried to select a different option in my run configuration, but this is no valid solution since for some reason it takes several minutes for the application to start when i select something else. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/0/905206a9df327c317fbcab4fbb477a4d8edf8cfa.png) Why is this happening, and how do i solve this issue? Edit: Using Windows 10 ---

I don't think that this question is ES specific but I'll try to help you. Can you share command line arguments from IDEA output? ---

Do you mean "Program arguments:" in Run/Debug config? I have none. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/7/a74154b49a4e8207bc1129c4cf2b6abc08b408ee.png) Apologies if this is wrong location to ask, but adding either of the EC dependencies listed above will make me unable to run my application. So i thought it was okay to ask here. ---

you should check Run window, something like this: ![Screenshot%20from%202018-11-28%2014-54-24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/8/2889eb88d4673d3e71325bffde82871f83a5f29b.png) ---

When running without said dependencies, no arguments occur. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/2/324d9ccc0f9f9601e69ceecdae59de523b597405.png) When adding Elastic dependencies, there's no run window available. The error occurs in event log. Can not run application. ---

That's ok, now what you need to do is to click on the first line where ":\Program Files" is and to check what you have in that command. I suppose that your command line is too long ---

After further investigation it seems to be something caused by Apache Tika and unrelated to ES after all. i flagged this question for it to be closed. Apologies ---
