NPE Encountered While Loading Elasticsearch Entities During Application Startup

[puru-khedre]

Issue:

On Moqui start by ./gradlew run, I attempt to load the Elasticsearch entities by setting startup-add-missing="true", but it results in an NPE. After investigating, I found that the failure happens because Moqui’s elasticFacade is not yet initialized at the time of loading these entities.

Root Cause:

Moqui requires the elasticFacade to be initialized in order to load the Elasticsearch entities, but this facade is not initialized at the point where the entities are being loaded. Specifically, the elasticFacade is initialized after the postFacadeInit() call, but the entities are loaded before that, leading to the NPE.
