Execute json file of "query and painless script" from the python script

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I'd like to execute json file of "query and painless script" from the python script made by other.
However, when python script is executed, "simplejson.errors.JSONDecodeError" is output.
The error points the last of double quotation ["source": "] in painless script.

If I use JSONSerializer within Python Elasticsearch Client, can json file of "query and painless script" be executed from python script?
Since I have no python experience, I need to confirm it in advance.

  • JUST json file example for query and painless script.
    GET school/_search
    {
      "query": {
        "match_all": {}
      },
      "script_fields": {
        "test": {
          "script": {
            "lang": "painless",
            "source": " <======== ERROR!!!
              return params._source.school_name
            "
          }
        }

The JSON spec does not allow for newline characters within strings. You need to remove the newlines at the beginning and end of your script.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your comment.
I tested small painless script without "\n" yesterday.
Seem like it works.
After I verify it more, I will post the result.

Hi Ryan and all,

I wrote painless script in one line without line breaks.
Finally it worked!
