Hi again; I'm the new user trying to get elastic grid up and running within  
a grails app. Thanks to Shay, I was able to get integration tests to work.

However, I'm having trouble getting elastic search to work within a running  
instance of grails.

I'm configuring the node as such:  
node {  
local = true  
}  
cluster {  
if (Environment.current.equals(Environment.TEST)) name = "TEST CLUSTER"  
else if (Environment.current.equals(Environment.DEVELOPMENT)) name =  
"DEV CLUSTER"  
}

and elastic search is creating a work/elasticsearch directory(within my  
grails app) on when I start the app(via "grails run-app.

When I index stuff, I'm not getting any type of error, but I'm also not  
getting back any results when I do a search.

Does anyone(or Shay) have any suggestions?

thanks again,  
Mike Kohout

Hi,

Trying to understand when does it work for you, is it when it runs  
outside of a grails app? Did you manage to use the same code and make it  
work outside of grails?
