I'm using the Spring Eleasticsearch project to start up a test instance of ES which I run my tests against, I need to add the ICU plugin to the test instance. I am using the icu\_tokenizer in my settings file, at the moment when I run the tests I'm getting the following error: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Custom Analyzer [my\_analyzer] failed to find tokenizer under name [icu\_tokenizer] Is there a way to install the plugin each time the tests are run? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I think that you just have to add it as a dependency to your Project (pom.xml) at least with a test scope. Does it help? -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 29 août 2013 à 15:48, dan [dan.tuffery@gmail.com](mailto:dan.tuffery@gmail.com) a écrit : > I'm using the Spring Eleasticsearch project to start up a test instance of ES which I run my tests against, I need to add the ICU plugin to the test instance.
