I'm trying to use ElasticsearchTestCase in my test framework to start  
getting ES deployed in production.

However, I'm in maven dependency hell and wanted some advice.

I'm trying to use this:

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/using-elasticsearch-test-classes.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/using-elasticsearch-test-classes.html)

but when I extend ElasticsearchTestCase and run the tests I get missing  
dependencies (see below)

It seems there are 2-4 problem here all exacerbating the issue:

1. the lucene.version, lucene.maven.version, and elastisearch.version are  
all undefined in the docs so I have to track down what these should be.

2. I have to add additional repositories (references in the main project  
pom) to get these to work:

[https://download.elasticsearch.org/lucenesnapshots/1641343](https://download.elasticsearch.org/lucenesnapshots/1641343)

1. I don't think test-jar pulls in dependencies properly.  
I've never used this feature and instead put my test infra in foo-test so  
that it's a normal dependency. So something seems fishy.

2. I seem that you're depending on these jars in the main pom.. but for  
some reason they're not being deployed into my project.

... any advice here would be appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

You should look at some plugins code, such as: [GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-analysis-icu: ICU Analysis plugin for Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-icu)

I think this should help.

Best.

David

yeah.. doing that I am still getting the following no class def error:

... this really sucks. Should just work out of the box. Testing is kind  
of the first thing I would expect most people to want to do...

Ended up resolving this. I had to take the 1.4.0 pom and use the  
dependencies there instead of the dependencies from master which was  
2.0.0-SNAPSHOT...

... things sort of work now but still running into some small problems.
