Continuous Integration

Development

ElasticSearch Setup

Elastisch needs ElasticSearch running locally (127.0.0.1). ES_CLUSTER_NAME need to be exported with the name of the local cluster. To find it out, use

curl http://localhost:9200/_cluster/nodes

Leiningen

Elastisch uses Leiningen 2. Make sure you have it installed and then run tests against all supported Clojure versions using

lein2 all test

Then create a branch and make your changes on it. Once you are done with your changes and all tests pass, submit a pull request on GitHub.
