I've checked debugging the application and that line gets executed, it just does nothing

What should I do if my grails commands are doing literally nothing? I am a beginner working on a grails project for my internship using grails 5.0.1. Everything was working fine until the end of Friday when I went to tried to run ./grailsw run-app and nothing happened. The vertical text insertion line started blinking, now none of my grails commands work. I almost always use the grails wrapper, neither grails or ./grailsw work. All of the other commands work though; Java, Gradle etc. I am not sure what else to include, feel free to ask any questions.

Hello, community, After I upgrade one of my grails 6 project to 7.0.0-M3, I got this error

what could be possibly wrong here?

Do Grails 7-M3 projects, created by GrailsForge, fail IntegrationTests out of the box, unless Docker is installed? Is this how it’s supposed to work?

grails 6.x Listener, PreUpdateEvent, ValidationEvent I've got a working grails application that uses the following classes: import grails.events.annotation.gorm.Listener import org.grails.datastore.mapping.engine.event.PreUpdateEvent import org.grails.datastore.mapping.engine.event.ValidationEvent But upgrading to grails 6, those classes don't seem to be found. I can't see any grails forge extention / feature that relates to those... Is there some way to get this function back, or are they obsolete? If obsolete is there some new equivalent...

seeing “Error Initializing Native OS X File Event Watcher. Add JNA to classpath for Faster File Watching performance” in my grails 7 upgrade process from 5. that’s odd yeah?

Hello, people! I'm migrating an app from Grails 3.2.3 (web-app) to Grails 6.2.3 (rest-api). Recently i found an issue with the Mail plugin. I was using mail:2.0.0.RC6 and now i'm using mail:4.0.0 When i call

mailService.sendMail {
				to "<mailto:your@name.com|your@name.com>"
				from "fromEmail"
				subject "titleMail"
				html view: "/email/auth/verificationCode", model: [:]
}

i get the following error:

Could not locate mail body /email/auth/verificationCode. Is it in a plugin? If so you must pass the plugin name in the [plugin] variable.

The view file is located at:

grails-app/views/email/auth/verificationCode.gsp

The error is thrown when I run the project with the generated war. I found that the plugin searchs for the file under "`/WEB-INF/grails-app/views/email/auth/verificationCode.gsp`" BUT the generated war saves the file under "`WEB-INF/classes/email/auth/verificationCode.gsp`" So I was wondering why the war structure changed from

/WEB-INF/grails-app/views

to

WEB-INF/classes/

. Is it related to the change of project type (now rest-api and before web-app)? If so, what other changes should I be aware of regarding this new project type? And finally, but most important, how can I solve this issue to be able to use the Mail plugin? Thank you all! Slack Conversation

In grails 2.x version, the bouncy castle provided by the grails itself is present in the runtime environment In grails 2.x version, the bouncy castle provided by the grails itself is present in the runtime environment. Since the bc library in part of grail lib, is it possible to overwrite with latest bc library. Even though I defined the dependency as below, still it is using the old version present in grails lib directory. dependencies { runtime 'org.bouncycastlebcprov jdk18on1.80' runtime 'org.bouncycastlebcpkix jdk18on1.80' }

Hi, all! I'm migrating an app from Grails 4 to Grails 6. I have code below that worked in grails 4. And it didn't work in Grails 6.

Hi! In my app I have a view with a form inside. The form is configured with this parameters

<form id="form-request-registration" controller="registrazione" role="form" action="GeneraRichiestaPdf" method="post" autocomplete="off">

When submit button is pressed, client makes POST request to /GeneraRichiestaPdf but I receive a 403 ‘not authorized’. The application is a porting from Grails 4 to Grails 7.0.0-M3..

I have started upgrading a Grails 6 application to version 7.0.0-M3 and have run into an issue with 'org.grails.plugins.views-markup' If I try to run the tests

./gradlew check

I get the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception
Where:
Build file '/home/thomas/workspace/ufst/kuda/kuda/dataplatform/build.gradle' line 6

The constructor is not marked with the Jakarta @Inject annotation (as the error says): https://github.com/apache/grails-views/blob/7.0.x/views/gradle-plugin/src/main/groovy/grails/views/gradle/markup/MarkupViewCompilerTask.groovy#L27 Some of the other tasks have the annotation, fx: https://github.com/apache/grails-views/blob/7.0.x/views/gradle-plugin/src/main/groovy/grails/views/gradle/json/JsonViewCompilerTask.groovy#L19 I don't know if that could be the error or if I have some other issue?

How to Integrate the SSO in Grails (6.2.3) + Angular(14) based application using okta please can you guide to me:- How to integrate the SSO using Okta :- Server Side: Grails 6.2.3 Client side: Angular 14 Please help, I really don't have any idea about it??

Anyone had any joy with polymorphic criteria queries on subclassed domains? I have:

class Grandparent {
    static hasMany = [ parents:Parent ]
}

// Joins the 'Child' instances to the 'Grandparent' instance.
class Mother extends Parent {
    static belongsTo = [ grandparent:Grandparent ] 
}

// The superclass that holds the 'Child' instances. 
class Parent {
    static hasMany = [ children:Child ] 
}

class Child {
    belongsTo = [
        mother:Parent
    ]
}

So to find all the Child instances that belong to a particular Grandparent (via the Mother), I assumed I could do:

def c = Child.createCriteria()
def children = c.list {
    mother {
        grandparent {
            eq('id', 1L)  // Looking Grandparent[1].
        }
    }
}

But it keeps complaining about

No signature of method grandparent.call()

. I'm guessing it's because 'mother' is not an actual Hibernate table whereas 'Parent' is the actual table. But I don't have a 'parent' property in the Child... Should I be looking at aliases, to try and encourage the query to look at the right column? Any ideas?

Hi all, are there know issues, ( and any workarounds ) with the latest IntelliJ and Grails 6.2? I'm finding (across multiple devices) that gsp's aren't being handled all that well in IntelliJ. tag completion not working, tags showing red etc. Not a major issue but it would be nice if they got along better 🙂 e.g.

Good morning, everyone! I want to create content to promote Grails to more developers, spark interest, and grow the community. In a world where people jump straight into JavaScript frameworks, Microservices / Micromonoliths, etc... what would be YOUR key selling points for developers, engineering managers, CTOs, and business owners?

I love how easy it is to generate and customize a user interface.

Hi guys, i’ve a grails 3.1. project that use a MySQL 5.7 DB I need to upgrade the MySQL server version to MySQL 8 There is a way to handle it with grails 3.1.1? What is the minor grails version for handle MySQL 8? After some research i found that the minimal version for MySQL 8 is Grails 4 (that support Hibernate 5.3.x +) is that true or is there a workaround for use MySQL8 Dialect with grails 3.1.x or grails 3.2.x?

May I suggest "team" or "everyone" or "folks"? Not everyone here is a guy.

Optional: Set a Context Path

and what does

the application will be available at:

and nothing after that means? https://docs.grails.org/7.0.0-M3/guide/single.html#introduction

If you want to set a context path for your application, create a configuration property in the "grails-app/conf/application.yml" file:

server:
    servlet:
        context-path: /myapp
With this configuration, the application will be available at:

Alternatively, you can also set the context path via the command line:

grails> run-app -Dgrails.server.servlet.context-path=/helloworld

Should it be

the application will be available at: <http://localhost:8080/myapp>

Hey everyone, I'm working with a Grails 2.5.6 application and noticed some strange behavior. After starting the app using

grails run-app

, the first login (

/j_spring_security_check

) and the first render after logging in take an unusually long time to complete. According to the browser's network tab, the first login takes around 3 seconds, while the initial post-login render takes about 20 seconds. After this first interaction, performance returns to normal. Any suggestions on how to improve this behavior and what might be causing it?

Hi, Just wondering — is https://github.com/Grails-Plugin-Consortium affiliated with the official Grails team? If so, are there any plans to update the plugins for Grails 7?
