Grails and release plugin - grails

I'm trying to use the release 2.0.4 plugin to deploy my war through grails 2.1.1 to artifactory server.
My BuildConfig.groovy has:
grails.project.repos.snap.url = "http://server:8080/artifactory/apps-snapshot-local"
grails.project.repos.snap.username = "user"
grails.project.repos.snap.password = "password"
grails.project.repos.rel.url = "http://server:8080/artifactory/apps-release-local"
grails.project.repos.rel.username = "user"
grails.project.repos.rel.password = "password"
grails.project.repos.default = "rel"
When I just do the "grails maven-deploy" it works and deploys to my rel server as expected. When I try to override the default target through the command line I get failures.
grails maven-deploy --repository=snap
I get this:
| Done creating WAR snap
| POM generated: C:\dev-git\DBUpdateWeb\target/pom.xml.
| Error Error deploying artifact: C:\dev-git\DBUpdateWeb\target\DBUpdateWeb.war (The system cannot find the file specified)
| Error Have you specified a configured repository to deploy to (--repository argument) or specified distributionManagement in your POM?
When I do specify the --repository tag it doesn't generate a war even though it says it did. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try grails maven-deploy "--repository=snap".
Also, specify app.version in application.properties so that the WAR will be standard compliant (1.0-SNAPSHOT for publishing to the snapshots repository and 1.0 for releases), and comment out the grails.project.war.file line in BuildConfig.groovy.

Grails 3 JNDI datasource for Tomcat, Weblogic, Glassfish - Vs Grails 2

I'm experimenting with migrating from Grails 2 to Grails 3.
In Grails 2, I used this as my JNDI name within datasource.groovy file, within the Production-env
jndiName = "${(System.getProperty('catalina.home') && (System.getProperty('java.class.path')).trim().toLowerCase().indexOf('tomcat') > 0 ) ? 'java:comp/env/' : ''}jdbc/myGrails"
I found that worked well for me for Glassfish, Weblogic, and Tomcat.
However, when i try this in Grails 3, within the application.yml:
jndiName: ${(System.getProperty('catalina.home') && (System.getProperty('java.class.path')).trim().toLowerCase().indexOf('tomcat') > 0 ) ? 'java:comp/env/' : ''}jdbc/myGrails
I get this error when running "grails run-app":
| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: mapping values are not allowed here
in 'reader', line 123, column 169:
... mcat') > 0 ) ? 'java:comp/env/' : ''}jdbc/traxGrails
^
(Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)
If I do use this in Grails 3:
jndiName: java:/comp/env/jdbc/myGrails
Then it works fine when using Grails run-app, and also works fine to deploy the WAR to Tomcat.
Can someone help me in getting my "jndi expression" from Grails 2 to work in Grails 3?
It looks like you're trying to use groovy syntax in a yml file, which does not work. You can create an application.groovy file (which will be merged with the application.yml file) if you want to use groovy syntax.
Also take a look at the many ways spring-boot allows you to inject properties via env variables, properties, yml, etc. http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html

What classspath is used for executing Grails' application.groovy

What classspath is used for compiling/executing Grails' application.groovy?
In my application.groovy, I instantiate a custom class (contained in a dependency's jar) and assign it to one of the config properties, like so:
environments {
production {
configProperty = new com.example.CustomClass()
I recently upgraded my application from Grails 3.1.5 to 3.2.2, and now this no longer works.
I receive an error like the following when I try to run grails run-app:
Error occurred running Grails CLI: startup failed:
script14788250424471597489853.groovy: 43: unable to resolve class com.example.CustomClass
# line 43, column 33.
configProperty = new com.example.CustomClass()
(Notice that the code is in the production block, but I'm running in development (run-app). That makes me think it's the compilation of this script that is failing.)
So I'm guessing I just need to add my dependency (that contains the CustomClass) to the appropriate classpath, but I'm not sure which one.
I'm using gradle, and have the following in my build.gradle file, to pull in the dependency containing CustomClass:
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath "com.example:custom-module:1.1"
// ...
dependencies {
compile group: 'com.example', name: 'custom-module', version:'1.1'
}
The grails-app/conf/application.groovy file shouldn't reference application classes because it is read before compilation. If you wish to reference application classes in configuration please use grails-app/conf/runtime.groovy

getting grails 2.5.4 asset pipeline excludes to work

I am unable to get either the sass asset pipeline or the less asset pipeline plugin to work, if I am using sass or less imports.
If I only have one sass or less file, grail war works fine.
In my scenario however, file1.scss imports file2.scss, and in the end I only want to end up with a file1.css created from both. This should be possible according to this
https://grails.org/plugin/sass-asset-pipeline
But I am getting this output
| Minifying File 345 of 398 - file2.
| Error WAR packaging error: Stream closed
from grails war --stacktrace --verbose
Both files are in the same directory and have teh following contents:
file1.scss
#import "file2";
.brand {background-color:$mainColor;}
file2.scss
$mainColor: #277D85;
My build config has this:
plugins = {
...
compile ':asset-pipeline:2.5.7'
provided ":sass-asset-pipeline:2.9.1"
}
grails.assets.minifyJs = false
grails.assets.minifyCss = false
grails.assets.minifyOptions = [
optimizationLevel: 'WHITESPACE_ONLY'
]
grails.assets.excludes = ["**/file2.scss"]
What am I doing wrong?
How can I get more insights into what's going on here.
Your plugin block should remain in BuildConfig.groovy. However, the rest should be placed in Config.groovy

How do disable log4j plugin in grails?

It appears the Grails 2.1 log4j plugin resets the log4j configuration during initialization of the grails application (see stack trace below).

Is there any way to disable this "feature" or to remove this plugin altogether?
My JBoss server is already configured through jboss-log4j.xml and I do not want grails to make any changes to the configuration. I have already tried removing the log4j section of Config.groovy, but doing so had no effect.
As Kelly suggested, I have already removed all logging-related jars from my war file. Log4j classes are provided by JBoss.
EDIT I also tried the trick described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/1190438/539048 but that didn't seem to make any difference.
The solution was to remove the following section from the generated web.xml file:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.log4j.web.util.Log4jConfigListener</tag0:listener-class>
</listener>
To do so, I edited the scripts/Events.groovy file according to this blog but changed the listener class name to org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.log4j.web.util.Log4jConfigListener.
eventWebXmlEnd = {String tmpfile ->
def root = new XmlSlurper().parse(webXmlFile)
def log4j = root.listener.findAll {node ->
node.'listener-class'.text() == 'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.log4j.web.util.Log4jConfigListener'
}
log4j.replaceNode {}
webXmlFile.text = new StreamingMarkupBuilder().bind {
mkp.declareNamespace("": "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee")
mkp.yield(root)
}
}
Modify your BuildConfig.groovy like this:
inherits("global") {
excludes 'log4j', 'jcl-over-slf4j', 'slf4j-api', 'slf4j-log4j12'
}
This should remove all the logging libraries.
I tried the above suggestion on this grails application, so that I could expect to exclude the log4j dependencies of grails. However, after applying the suggestion, the jar files expected to be removed are still there in the generated war file. These jar files are: ./lib/grails-plugin-log4j-2.4.4.jar and ./lib/log4j-1.2.17.jar

doWithDynamicMethods not being Called

When I create a production war (grails war --nojars) my doWithDynamicMethods is not being called in a production environment. The code works in the dev env (ie grails run-app)
Here is some of my code:
PDFFormsGrailsPlugin.groovy (in PDFForms (plugin) directory) :-
def doWithDynamicMethods = { ctx ->
println "Adding renderPDFForm to controller";
for (controllerClass in application.controllerClasses) {
updateControllers controllerClass.metaClass
}
}
BuildConfig.groovy (in Application using Plugin) :-
grails.plugin.location.'pdff-orms' = "../PDFForms"
We are using Grails 1.3.5 on Windows XP, The Build is called from STS 2.3.3.CI-R5462-B20
Thanks in advance.
Check if the plugin is referenced in your grails.xml.
Read this Nabble thread
And this jira
P.S. Why not you upgrade to grails 1.3.7 at least?!
