mongoosesastic no living connection

Question

I'm trying to insert my mongoose scheme into elasticsearch with mongoosastic but it gives me { [Error: No Living connections] message: 'No Living connections' }

my mongoose schema:

var mongoose = require( 'mongoose' );
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var mongoosastic = require('mongoosastic');
var ProductSchema = new Schema( {
   ----huge load of json----
});

ProductSchema.plugin(mongoosastic,{host:'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9200',curlDebug: true});

mongoose.model('product', ProductSchema);

var product = mongoose.model('product');
product.createMapping(function(err, mapping){
if(err){
    console.log('error creating mapping (you can safely ignore this)');
    console.log(err);
}else{
    console.log('mapping created!');
    console.log(mapping);
}
});
module.exports = product;

I can curl to the elasticsearch server, so no issue there

No living connections usually mean that your code cannot reach your ES server. Have you tried to restart your ES server by any chance? — Val, May 12 '15 at 03:10
Are you sure you instantiated your plugin correctly? Shouldn't you create an elasticsearch client first, like this? `var esClient = new elasticsearch.Client({host: 'localhost:9200'}); productSchema.plugin(mongoosastic, { esClient: esClient })` — Val, May 12 '15 at 15:37
Also what do you see when you run this in a shell `curl -XGET http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9200` ? (make sure to use the correct host or IP address) — Val, May 12 '15 at 15:41
@Val You are right. after creating the client i got `[TypeError: Invalid index: expected be a comma seperated list, array, number or string.]` 'instead of the no living connections error :) *it's something* — Nick, May 12 '15 at 17:22
@Val curl output is `{ "status" : 200, "name" : "Madelyne Pryor", "cluster_name" : "thiscluster", "version" : { "number" : "1.5.2", "build_hash" : "62ff9868b4c8a0c45860bebb259e21980778ab1c", "build_timestamp" : "2015-04-27T09:21:06Z", "build_snapshot" : false, "lucene_version" : "4.10.4" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" }` — Nick, May 12 '15 at 17:26

Fixed it by passing my ip in an array

ProductSchema.plugin(mongoosastic,{
hosts: [
    'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9200'
 ]
});

must be a bug in mongoosastic

I was using the configuration in the require call, (require('mongoosastic', {..config}) and doesn't work. I changed to each plugin call like you say and worked fine. Thanks – Herlon Aguiar May 15 '17 at 16:22
