Elasticsearch response into Firebase (Flashlight)

Question

I am trying to set up the Flashlight example for Firebase (first locally) but got stuck. I manage to push the search to Firebase:

But I do not get a response post into Firebase. My app.js logs say

Connected to ElasticSearch host localhost:9200 Connecting to Firebase https://my-instance.firebaseio.com Indexing firebase/message using path "Posts" Queue started, IN: "search/request", OUT: "search/response"

... and is updating me about the constantly updating index based on Firebase activity.

What am I missing?

Just a quick check, where it says `my-instance` in your logging output, you have the actual name of your Firebase database? — Frank van Puffelen, Feb 10 '16 at 15:25
correct, it does my actual Firebase name. The pushing of search queries works :) — Nicolazinho, Feb 10 '16 at 17:02

I managed to get it working by changing the following in the config.js file:

Instead of a basic FB_URL Path and a specific exports.paths I had to have a specific FB_URL Path. This works:

exports.FB_URL   = 'https://my-instance.firebaseio.com/gmail-com';
exports.paths = [
   {
      path:  "Posts",
      index: "firebase",
      type:  "message",
   }
];

This does not:

exports.FB_URL   = 'https://my-instance.firebaseio.com';
exports.paths = [
   {
      path:  "gmail-com/Posts",
      index: "firebase",
      type:  "message",
   }
];

Not sure why...
