I'm using Elasticsearch v2.2.0 I have a plugin which uses the existing "\_search" endpoint. That is, I register the following handlers for my plugin: 1. /\_search 2. /{index}/\_search 3. /{index}/{type}/\_search The plugin works fine when installed on the standalone cluster. However, when I load it onto a test class extending **ESIntegTestCase** using: `@Override protected Collection> nodePlugins() { return pluginList(MyPlugin.class); } ` and start a test, I get the following error: [code]org.elasticsearch.common.inject.CreationException: Guice creation errors: 1. Error injecting constructor, java.lang.AssertionError at org.elasticsearch.rest.action.search.RestSearchAction.(Unknown Source) while locating org.elasticsearch.rest.action.search.RestSearchAction 1 error at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.internal.Errors.throwCreationExceptionIfErrorsExist(Errors.java:360) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.InjectorBuilder.injectDynamically(InjectorBuilder.java:178) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.InjectorBuilder.build(InjectorBuilder.java:110) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.Guice.createInjector(Guice.java:93) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.Guice.createInjector(Guice.java:70) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.ModulesBuilder.createInjector(ModulesBuilder.java:46) at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:200) at org.elasticsearch.node.MockNode.(MockNode.java:43) at org.elasticsearch.test.InternalTestCluster.buildNode(InternalTestCluster.java:606) at org.elasticsearch.test.InternalTestCluster.reset(InternalTestCluster.java:957) at org.elasticsearch.test.InternalTestCluster.beforeTest(InternalTestCluster.java:925) at org.elasticsearch.test.ESIntegTestCase.beforeInternal(ESIntegTestCase.java:345) at org.elasticsearch.test.ESIntegTestCase.before(ESIntegTestCase.java:1953) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:497) at com.carrotsearch.randomizedtesting.RandomizedRunner.invoke(RandomizedRunner.java:1660) at com.carrotsearch.randomizedtesting.RandomizedRunner$9.evaluate(RandomizedRunner.java:900) at com.carrotsearch.randomizedtesting.RandomizedRunner$10.evaluate(RandomizedRunner.java:916) at com.carrotsearch.randomizedtesting.rules.StatementAdapter.evaluate(StatementAdapter.java:36) ....

Is using an existing endpoint not possible for a plugin? And also, why does this error appear only for the embedded nodes, and not when used on the standalone cluster? ---
