Excluding a Grails build scope dependency - grails

Using Grails 2.4.3, how can I exclude a dependency that's defined in the build scope?
ExampleGrails is bundled with the library spock-core-0.7-groovy-2.0.jar; when adding the standard global dependency exclusion:
...
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
// inherit Grails' default dependencies
inherits('global') {
excludes 'spock-core'
}
...
Spock is excluded from all dependency scopes except for the build scope.

Is the issue that you don't want it in your .war file? If so you can remove it like so:
grails.war.resources = { stagingDir ->
delete(file:"${stagingDir}/WEB-INF/lib/spock-core-0.7-groovy-2.0.jar")
}

Gradle giving ClassNotFoundException while building Grails project

I am trying to use the gradle-grails-plugin to build an existing (small) Grails project. Should this work? What is the relationship between the dependencies in build.gradle and the ones specified in buildConfig.groovy?
In any event, I have two projects, so the topmost build.gradle file is in the parent directory and looks like:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.grails:grails-gradle-plugin:2.2.0.RC1"
}
}
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '2.3'
}
and then the build.gradle in the Grails project looks like:
apply plugin: "grails"
repositories {
grails.central() //creates a maven repo for the Grails Central repository (Core libraries and plugins)
}
grails {
grailsVersion = '2.4.4'
groovyVersion = '2.3.9'
springLoadedVersion '1.2.0.RELEASE'
}
dependencies {
bootstrap "org.grails.plugins:tomcat:7.0.55.3"
compile 'org.grails.plugins:asset-pipeline:3.0.1'
compile 'org.grails.plugins:scaffolding:2.1.2'
compile 'org.grails.plugins:cache:1.1.8'
runtime 'org.grails.plugins:hibernate4:4.3.1.1'
runtime 'org.grails.plugins:database-migration:1.3.8'
runtime 'org.grails.plugins:jquery:1.11.0'
}
However, when I run ./gradlew war, I get back:
Caused by: java.long.ClassNotFoundException: grails.artefact.Service
Can anyone shed some light on this? There are practically no references to that via Google, it seems to be a Grails 3.x class? Also, I am using Java 1.7.
Class grails.artefact.Service is indeed accessible from v3.0 of grails framework - as can be seen here.
With the following statement grailsVersion = '2.4.4' v2.4.4 is specified to be used and it all looks ok. What spoils the build is the following dependencies entry:
compile 'org.grails.plugins:asset-pipeline:3.0.1'
In this package there is a class asset/pipeline/grails/AssetProcessorService that imports the mentioned grails.artefact.Service which isn't loaded at runtime (probably because of v2.4.4 used).
Unfortunately I can't suggest any solution apart from the trivial like excluding this dependency. I am not a grails developer nor have I set the environment up.
Hopes that helps somehow.

Grails can't load maven-publisher

I am trying to add maven-publisher to a Grails (2.3.6) plugin like so:
dependencies {
compile 'org.mongodb.morphia:morphia:0.107'
compile ":maven-publisher:0.8.1"
}
When I run grails compile I get:
| Error There was an error loading the BuildConfig: Bad artifact coordinates
:maven-publisher:0.8.1, expected format is <groupId>:<artifactId>[:<extension>[
:<classifier>]]:<version> (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)
What's going on here?
Do not use the maven-publisher plugin. It's old and deprecated. Use the release plugin - it should already be in your plugin's BuildConfig.groovy. If not, here's how it should look (after removing unnecessary cruft):
grails.project.work.dir = 'target'
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
inherits 'global'
log 'warn'
repositories {
grailsCentral()
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.mongodb.morphia:morphia:0.107'
}
plugins {
build ':release:3.0.1', ':rest-client-builder:1.0.3', {
export = false
}
}
}
As #dmahapatro said in his comment, jar dependencies go in the dependencies block, and plugin dependencies go in the plugins block.
Note also that you should keep the export = false setting so the plugin is available locally for your use, but doesn't leak into the containing application as an unnecessary transitive dependency.

Audit Trail Plugin installed using BuildConfig is not creating the audit columns

I am using Grails 2.2.4 and audit-trail plugin 2.0.3.
I previously installed the plugin using the deprecated "grails install-plugin" and it works. But now I try using BuildConfig. I have this configuration:
plugins {
runtime ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
runtime ":jquery:1.8.3"
runtime ":resources:1.2"
build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"
runtime ":database-migration:1.3.2"
compile ':cache:1.0.1'
runtime ":audit-trail:2.0.3"
runtime ":spring-security-core:1.2.7.3"
}
But now the columns for createdBy, editedBy, createdDate and editedDate are not created in the database for domain with annotation #gorm.AuditStamp
My Config.groovy has this:
grails {
plugin{
audittrail{
createdBy.field = "createdBy"
editedBy.field = "editedBy"
createdDate.field = "createdDate"
editedDate.field = "editedDate"
}
}
}
Thank you
You need to add the plugin in compile scope
compile ":audit-trail:2.0.3"
so that the AST transformation would kick in at compile time to add the configured fields to the domain class.

Classpath for ant plugins when using ANTBuilder from Gradle

I have a build.gradle file which loads PMD (downloading it from upstream Maven), and then loads an Ant build.xml file which requires PMD:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'pmd:pmd:4.2.5'
}
}
ant.importBuild 'shared-build.xml'
However, the Ant import fails:
taskdef class net.sourceforge.pmd.ant.PMDTask cannot be found
using the classloader AntClassLoader[]
at org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper.addLocationToBuildException(ProjectHelper.java:551)
[...]
at org.gradle.api.internal.project.DefaultAntBuilder.importBuild(DefaultAntBuilder.groovy:76)
How can Gradle's ant integration be instructed to make this available?
There's no straighforward way to do it, as Gradle does not offer any API support for this. So you need to hack it some way.
For example, you can do something like this, right before calling ant.importBuild
org.apache.tools.ant.Project.class.classLoader.addURL( file('libs/somelib.jar').toURI().toURL() )
Alternatively you can call the addURL() method with the paths you get through the Gradle's dependency resolution (again, this should be executed before the call to ant.importBuild).
configurations { someconf }
dependencies { someconf "org.eclipse.jdt:ecj:3.6.1" }
def antClassLoader = org.apache.tools.ant.Project.class.classLoader
configurations.someconf.each { File f ->
antClassLoader.addURL(f.toURI().toURL())
}
Of course, another solution would be to have the classpath defined inside your build.xml file so you won't have to do anything from Gradle.
See some input here http://gradle.1045684.n5.nabble.com/How-to-add-to-classpath-for-ant-importBuild-td3268631.html

Grails 2.0 plugin dependencies

I'm trying to build a Grails 2.0 application using private plugins:
mycompany-frontend = Grails Application
mycompany-core = Grails plugins for domain classes
In the mycompany-core plugin, I created some domain classe and added a joda-time dependency in BuildConfig.groovy:
plugins {
build(":tomcat:$grailsVersion",
":release:1.0.1",
":svn:1.0.2") {
export = false
}
build(":joda-time:1.3.1")
}
in the mycompany-frontend app, I have the following BuildConfig.groovy:
plugins {
runtime ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
runtime ":resources:1.1.5"
build "mycompany:mycompany-core:0.1-SNAPSHOT"
build ":svn:1.0.2"
build ":spring-security-core:1.2.7"
build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"
}
I also removed grails.plugins entries from application.properties to avoid confusion.
But at the end, the mycompany-frontend cannot find the model classes from mycompany-core plugin.
What should I look/fix to get this working?
Have you tried to define the dependency to your core-plugin as runtime-/compile-dependency instead of build?
