Grails: save is not working - grails

Question

i have created new domain in grails and from a controller i've tried to save but nothing get saved in the database.. the code is as follow
controller
def register={
String name = params.name
String email = params.email
String pass = params.password
boolean signedIn = params.signedIn
System.out.println(name + " " + email +" "+ pass+" " + signedIn)
def rUser = new Registered(params)
rUser.signedIn = signedIn
System.out.println(rUser)
rUser.save(flush:true)
}
domain
class Registered {
String name;
String email;
String password;
boolean signedIn =false;
static constraints = {
}
}
and i'm trying to save by this url
http://localhost:8080/egypths/apps/register?name=hegab&email=eio#gmail.com&password=tom&signedIn=false
so what am i doing wrong ... putting in mind that there's no error in the stack trace

I would start by wrapping this in an integration test that would look like this:
import groovy.util.GroovyTestCase
import org.junit.Test
public class RegisterControllerTests extends GroovyTestCase {
#Test
void saveAction() {
def controller = new RegisterController() //or whatever the controller name is
controller.params.name = "SomethingUnique"
controller.params.email = "example#example.com"
controller.params.password = "password"
controller.params.signedIn = "false"
controller.register()
def registered = Registered.findByName("SomethingUnique")
assert "example#example.com" == registered.email
assert "password" == registered.password
assert false == registered.signedIn
}
}
Then I would start by making your controller action as simple as possible:
def register={
String name = params.name
String email = params.email
String pass = params.password
boolean signedIn = params.signedIn
def rUser = new Registered()
rUser.name = name
rUser.email = email
rUser.password = pass
rUser.signedIn = signedIn
rUser.save(flush:true, failOnError:true) //I would remove the failOnError after you identify the issue.
}
This way you can quickly repeat your test and figure out where your problem is. Adding the failOnError:true to the save call will cause an exception to be thrown if it doesn't pass validation. If this simple example works start working back towards a more elegant solution to identify where you're issue resides.
