I have a spring MVC web application.  
Recently I started the migration of ElasticSearch 2.4 to 5.2 but I'm having problems with my Integration Tests in my application.

With Elastic 2.4 I used an embedded elasticsearch for my tests, but that's not possible anymore I guess.

So I tried to extends the ESIntegTestCase but that gave a lot of issues (JarHell, Security issues,...).

Another approach, make e ElasticSearch Client in my test spring config. (Like I did earlier with the 2.4).  
But creating my own settings, node & client. It forces my to run my tests with the RandomizedRunner.class.  
Problem there, my test-spring context won't boot anymore.  
Is there a way to use the : SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class instead of the RandomizedRunner.class AND create your own node / client?

Thanks!

IT should be done using an external node. Read [https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-the-server](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-the-server)

I advice looking:

- [https://github.com/alexcojocaru/elasticsearch-maven-plugin](https://github.com/alexcojocaru/elasticsearch-maven-plugin) if you are a maven user
- [http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2016/10/18/elasticsearch-real-integration-tests-updated-for-ga/](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2016/10/18/elasticsearch-real-integration-tests-updated-for-ga/) if you are a maven user (but another way to do it)
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/integration-tests.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/integration-tests.html) might help as well
