Testing requires elastic search

[cameronneylon]

Currently tests don't run unless you have Elastic Search available. This is a problem for contributions because it means third party contributors can't test their code properly.

the problem: tests rely on models.MessageObject

Suggest mock MessageObject which does not rely on ES? There won't be a way for it to subclass the real models.MessageObject, any importing of models will import the code which prepares the index (correctly so..). It will have to explicitly mock functions needed by the tests, which are only a few, so should not be a big deal.
