Hi I'm playing with the Groovy API inside Groovy Console

@GrabResolver(name='elasticsearch',  
root='[http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/](http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/)')  
@GrabResolver(name='maven', root='[http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/](http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/)')  
@Grab('org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-client-groovy:0.10.0')  
import org.elasticsearch.groovy.client.GClient  
import org.elasticsearch.groovy.node.GNode  
import org.elasticsearch.groovy.node.GNodeBuilder  
import static org.elasticsearch.groovy.node.GNodeBuilder.\*

GNodeBuilder nodeBuilder = nodeBuilder();  
nodeBuilder.settings {  
node {  
client = true  
}  
cluster {  
name = "elasticsearch"  
}  
}

GNode node = nodeBuilder.node()  
node.stop().close()

I'm getting always this exception about configuration of names.txt :S

org.elasticsearch.env.FailedToResolveConfigException: Failed to  
resolve config path [names.txt], tried file path [names.txt], path  
file [C:\develop\Groovy-1.7.6\bin\config\names.txt], and classpath

```
at org.elasticsearch.env.Environment.resolveConfig(Environment.java:163)

```

I have running a node in localhost

curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/health](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health)'  
{"cluster\_name":"elasticsearch","status":"yellow","timed\_out":false,"number\_of\_nodes":1,"number\_of\_data\_nodes":1,"active\_primary\_shards":5,"active\_shards"  
:5,"relocating\_shards":0,"initializing\_shards":0,"unassigned\_shards":5}  
hernand@UKLON-05916 ~/tomcat/bin

$ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/)'  
{  
"ok" : true,  
"name" : "Solitaire",  
"version" : {  
"number" : "0.14.4",  
"date" : "2011-01-31T21:37:39",  
"snapshot\_build" : false  
},  
.....

Any ideas what happend?

There is a single groovy client, no need for the client-groovy, just the lang-groovy (it was renamed). And it should be the same version as ES repo.

That names.txt file should be in the elasticsearch jar file.

Still not working with the correct client but I put manually  
"names.txt" in C:\develop\Groovy-1.7.6\bin\config\names.txt  
and it works like a charm.

It could be a classpath issue using Groovy Console

Here the code:

@GrabResolver(name='elasticsearch',root='[http://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/staging/](http://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/staging/)')  
@GrabResolver(name='maven', root='[http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/](http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/)')  
@Grab('org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-lang-groovy:0.14.4')  
import org.elasticsearch.groovy.client.GClient  
import org.elasticsearch.groovy.node.GNode  
import org.elasticsearch.groovy.node.GNodeBuilder  
import static org.elasticsearch.groovy.node.GNodeBuilder.\*

GNodeBuilder nodeBuilder = nodeBuilder();  
nodeBuilder.settings {  
node {  
client = true  
}  
cluster {  
name = "elasticsearch"  
}  
}  
GNode node = nodeBuilder.node()  
node.stop().close()

org.elasticsearch.env.FailedToResolveConfigException: Failed to  
resolve config path [names.txt], tried file path [names.txt], path  
file [C:\develop\Groovy-1.7.6\bin\config\names.txt], and classpath
