Hi,

I'm working on [#34142](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/34142) and I have some trouble to install the ingest-attachment plugin into a distribution started from a `gradlew run` task.

Plugin is said to be installed from the command line but I can't see it from the `_cat` API.

Is there any additional step to execute?

Thanks a lot,  
Chris

Solved, I had to stop the Gradle task and run it again from the CLI with `./bin/elasticsearch`.
