Indexes are not being created when you run neo4j-shell with -path

[kayrus]

When you run the following query:

CYPHER 1.9 START nd =node(*) WHERE has(nd.`text`) WITH nd SET nd.`text` = nd.`text` RETURN COUNT(nd);

using neo4j-shell with -path parameter (and stopped main neo4j server):

$ ./bin/neo4j-shell -path /var/lib/neo4j/data/graph.db -config /var/lib/neo4j/conf/neo4j-server.properties -file autoindex.neo4jshell

+-----------+
| COUNT(nd) |
+-----------+
| 59        |
+-----------+
1 row
Properties set: 59
1611 ms

The indexes don't work after you start the actual neo4j server.

When you start the neo4j server and run this query once again without the -path:

$ ./bin/neo4j-shell -config /var/lib/neo4j/conf/neo4j-server.properties -file autoindex.neo4jshell
+-----------+
| COUNT(nd) |
+-----------+
| 59        |
+-----------+
1 row
Properties set: 59
919 ms

indexes work fine and the data is correct.

here are the messages.log:

You have to configure the same auto indexes in the server config.

@jexp it is:

# Auto-indexing
# Enable auto-indexing for nodes, default is false
node_auto_indexing=true

# The node property keys to be auto-indexed, if enabled
node_keys_indexable=text

@jexp also I didn't find any mention about these config options in the docs: https://neo4j.com/docs/2.3.7/configuration-settings.html

[kayrus]

@jexp well, it looks like these options were deprecated. but how do they relate to the behavior I described in the first message? why indexes don't work when you create them in "single" (without actual neo4j server start) mode?
