Using the Elasticsearch server for manual testing

Prerequisites

  • Install a JAVA 1.8 runtime, the patch level must be greater than 131
  • Set the environment variable ELA_JAVA_HOME to the Java installation you want to use. If your default Java is new enough, this step can be omitted. The installation pointed to in ELA_JAVA_HOME is only used by the runNode scripts to start the ES server
  • Set the environment variable ELA_VERSION to the desired Elasticsearch server version. If unset, the default version is 6.2.2. If the server software is not already present in this directory, it is downloaded from artifacts.elastic.co

Install and start the server/cluster

  • Install the server. This will download the software and create directories for two nodes
  ./installServer.sh
  • Start the first node (http port 9200)
  ./runNode.sh 1
  • Optionally start the second node (http port 9205) in a new terminal
  ./runNode.sh 2
  • Check the cluster health
  curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cat/health?v"

Run your manual tests

  • Run the test application (maybe a sample from the toolkit)

Verify results

To verify results, use the following commands to check documents and indices

List all indices

curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v"

List the first 10 documents in the index 'ecg_index'

curl -X GET "localhost:9200/ecg_index/_search?q=*&pretty"

Delete an index named 'basic_test_index'

curl -X DELETE 'http://localhost:9200/basic_test_index'

Stop the server

Just press CRTL-C in the terminal windows, where you started the nodes. To remove the server directories, you can use the cleanServer.sh script

./cleanServer.sh
