Elasticsearch scripting : Fail to execute .groovy file from curl command line

Question

I've tried to execute .groovy file from curl command line but failed & received the following error as below. Here is my setup :

elasticsearch.yml

script.inline: true
script.indexed: true

config/scripts/** counterPostCount.groovy**

postCount += 1

Note : basically I want to plus 1 for the value that I already have for 'postCount' field in my document.

document : hashtag

{ "took" : 3, "timed_out" : false, "_shards" : { "total" : 5, "successful" : 5, "failed" : 0 }, "hits" : { "total" : 1, "max_score" : 1.0, "hits" : [ { "_index" : "hashtag", "_type" : "hashtag", "_id" : "b3ecb430-9fa6-4f41-84da-b79e6a30ef00", "_score" : 1.0, "_source" : { "id" : "b3ecb430-9fa6-4f41-84da-b79e6a30ef00", "hashtagId" : null, "hashtagname" : "helloworld", "dateCreated" : null, "dateUpdated" : null, "postCount" : 2 } } ] } }

curl command

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/hashtag/hashtag/b3ecb430-9fa6-4f41-84da-b79e6a30ef00/_update' -d '{"_script" : {"script_id" : "counterPostCount", "lang" : "groovy"}}'

error

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"remote_transport_exception","reason":"[Node1][127.0.0.1:9300][indices:data/write/update[s]]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"failed to execute script","caused_by":{"type":"index_not_found_exception","reason":"no such index","resource.type":"index_expression","resource.id":".scripts","index":".scripts"}},"status":400}

You're almost there, but you have two typos in your query,

_script should be `script``
script_id is for indexed script (hint: the error mentions that there is no .script index), use file instead for file scripts

It should read like this instead:

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/hashtag/hashtag/b3ecb430-9fa6-4f41-84da-b79e6a30ef00/_update' -d '{
  "script" : {
     "file" : "test", 
     "lang" : "groovy"
  }
}'

You don't have to change anything in your elasticsearch.yml file as file scripts are enabled by default

Thank you Val. I replaced _script and script_id but received the new error as follow :

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"remote_transport_exception","reason":"[WinAppNode1][127.0.0.1:9300][indices:data/write/update[s]]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"failed to execute script","caused_by":{"type":"script_exception","reason":"failed to run file script [counterPostCount] using lang [groovy]","caused_by":{"type":"missing_property_exception","reason":"No such property: postCount for class: a09142c1ac03bff417e4b55d8b280c22540b28b5"}}},"status":400}

There were two changes to make.

Your counterPostCount.groovy script uses the field postCount which doesn't seem to exist.

I do have postCount field in my document under _source. weird. did I miss anything else, Val?

Can you update your question with your actual script and your hashtag mapping?
