elasticsearch fails to run on Arch Linux

[felixonmars]

I am getting the following errors when running the test suite for elasticsearch. I am not really familiar with elasticsearch myself, please let me know how I should proceed to test, thanks!

What version and OS are you running? It seems it looks for /usr/share/elasticsearch/config but can't find it.

[felixonmars]

It is elasticsearch 2.3.4 on Arch Linux x86_64.

[jd]

Ok, I have the same version on Darwin here. Is the config file/dir present?

[felixonmars]

No, it doesn't :(

[jd]

According to https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/elasticsearch#n39 the path should be replaced by /etc/elasticsearch in the script. So it's weird. I don't have any Arch Linux around to debug, but if anyone has time to dig into that…

Ping, the same problem.
