Hi everyone, is there a template or we can use for creating our own Grails Guide with the hopes that it will be published on https://guides.grails.org/index.html and the code will reside in a new repository under https://github.com/grails-guides ? I want to adapt this blog post for Grails 6 projects. https://grails.org/blog/2017-04-02.html

The readme on https://github.com/grails/grails-guides has some details.

Perfect. Thanks!

@tylervz Thanks for this. I wrote my own build information with Gradle that includes the Git branch name and commit number. That’s how I can, for certain, know which code is on the server. (Usual problem when running multiple projects)

I currently use the gradle plugin com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties to write the file. spring-boot-actuator reads the values in and I also have groovy class to make static access a little more concise in GSPs.

plugins {
    id "groovy"
    id "org.grails.grails-web"
    id "org.grails.grails-gsp"
    id "com.github.erdi.webdriver-binaries"
    id "war"
    id "idea"
    id "com.bertramlabs.asset-pipeline"
    id "application"
    id "eclipse"
    id "com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties" version "2.4.1"
    id "org.ajoberstar.grgit" version "5.2.1"
}

In the meantime while I finish writing up that Grails guide, the main change I made to the

build.gradle

code shared in that blog post to get it working with Grails 6 is to wrap the

buildProperties.doLast

closure inside

project.gradle.projectsEvaluated { }
