Runtime error trying to run the ES sample code

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Apologies if this is a silly error on my part, but I keep getting the
following error when running the ES sample code:

Node started
Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method:
org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentBuilder.map() is applicable
for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [this is a tweet]
Possible solutions: map(java.util.Map), wait(), dump(), any(),
wait(long), value(java.lang.String)
at
org.elasticsearch.groovy.common.xcontent.GXContentBuilder.buildAsBytes(GXContentBuilder.groovy:
64)
at org.elasticsearch.groovy.client.GClient
$__clinit__closure3.doCall(GClient.groovy:65)

at EsTwitterTest$_run_closure1.doCall(EsTwitterTest.groovy)
at org.elasticsearch.groovy.client.GClient.index(GClient.groovy:182)
at EsTwitterTest.run(EsTwitterTest.groovy:21)

The code I'm trying to run is as follows:

def startNode() {
def nodeBuilder = new org.elasticsearch.groovy.node.GNodeBuilder()
nodeBuilder.settings {
node {
local = true
}
gateway {
type = "none"
}
}
nodeBuilder.node()
}

def node = startNode()
println "settings $node.settings.asMap"
println "Node started"
future = node.client.index {
index "twitter"
type "tweet"
id "1"
source {
user = "kimchy"
message = "this is a tweet"
}
}
println "Indexed $future.response.index/$future.response.type/
$future.response.id"
node.close()

I've played with various permutations of this code, and find that the
only thing that fixes it is if I add a:
complex {
foo = "bar"
}
in the source { } block. Also creating the node in the various ways
doesn't make any difference. I got this error running it from my IDE
(Intellij IDEA) and from the command line.

Thanks,
Darryl

Are you running it as a script or as a groovy class/code (donnno the correct term for it). If as a script, then you might want to set GXContentBuilder.rootResolveStrategy to a different value than Closure.OWNER_FIRST.

Basically, I think the problem you get is in converting Groovy Closures into json (using elasticsearch XContent framework). I basically copied the Grails json builder as is into GXContentBuilder, so it should behave the same. Not a groovy expert...

That was it. I set:

GXContentBuilder.rootResolveStrategy = Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST;

and now it works as it says on the tin. Thanks Shay!
