BB_INSTALL_DIR\elasticsearch\bin\elasticsearch-env.bat is pointing to the wrong location for Elasticsearch config folder.

This looks to be a recurrence of BSERV-10746 somehow with the introduction of Elasticsearch 6.5.3 on Bitbucket 6.x

Summary

It's not possible to create the Elasticsearch service in Windows – To create the services, one must go over the instructions of the article below, however, it's not possible to create the Elasticsearch service in Windows, since the batch file responsible for creating the service is checking the wrong location.

How to Replicate

1. Download the ZIP archive for Bitbucket 6.0/6.1.0
2. Install it.
3. Go over the Running Bitbucket Server as a Windows service to create the services;
4. At step 9 change directory as instructed;
5. At step 10 run the command below to create the Elasticsearch service

   service.bat install MyName
   

1. This will result in the following message:

   C:\Atlassian\Bitbucket\6.1.0\elasticsearch\bin>service.bat install BB6_Search
   Installing service      :  "BB6_Search"
   Using JAVA_HOME (64-bit):  "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_141"
   Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: C:\Atlassian\Bitbucket\6.1.0\elasticsearch\config\jvm.options
   

Expected Results

Elasticsearch service should be created

Actual Results

After running the

service.bat install MyName

the following message will be shown and the service won't be created

Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: C:\Atlassian\Bitbucket\6.1.0\elasticsearch\config\jvm.options

Notes

What is causing the issue is that the <Bitbucket Server installation directory>\elasticsearch\bin\elasticsearch-env.bat is pointing to the wrong location while trying to find the jvm-options file.

In the elasticsearch-env.bat file we can see the following

if not defined ES_PATH_CONF (
  set ES_PATH_CONF=!ES_HOME!\config
)

In the code above we can see that it is trying to check for the file in %ES_HOME%\config however, there's no config folder but config-template.

Workaround

1. Edit the <Bitbucket Server installation directory>\elasticsearch\bin\elasticsearch-env.bat
2. replace

   if not defined ES_PATH_CONF (
     set ES_PATH_CONF=!ES_HOME!\config
   )
   

1. For

   if not defined ES_PATH_CONF (
     set ES_PATH_CONF=!ES_HOME!\config-template
   )
   

1. run the command in the step 10 of the article again;
