Doesn't work with Debian Elasticsearch

Debian (and probably other Linuxes too) installs its Elasticsearch binary in /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch.

My test code:

import testing.elasticsearch
s = testing.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchServer(cmd="/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch")
s.start()

This fails with the following errors:

I'm guessing this is because the Elasticsearch binary isn't looking for its classes in the right place, but there is no way to configure this with testing.elasticsearch.

Apologies, this is a known issue with Elasticsearch in Debian and not related to this library.

And another lame failure :

Package: elasticsearch
Version: 5.6.3
Source: elasticsearch
Maintainer: Elasticsearch Team info@elastic.co
Depends: libc6, adduser, bash

Did you forget to depend on default-jre here ?

@johan-boule I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. Could you clarify? This issue was closed over a year ago, feel free to create a new one.
