Hi all, I bumped into a weird issue while converting my Grails 6 project into a multi-project. I defined a single web-app and a couple of plugins, with this structure:

app/
    build.gradle
plugin1/
    build.gradle
plugin2/
    build.gradle
build.gradle
settings.gradle     // includes app, plugin1, plugin2

At the moment,

app

is still a “stand-alone” web-app, as it does not reference plugins as dependencies. `app`’s bootstrap checks

Environment.isDevelopmentMode()

, and I found out that, when executing

app:bootRun

task, it returns

false

because

System.getProperty("base.dir")

resolves to

plugin2

directory, or better to the last dir of the multi-project’s root dir, in alphabetical order. Am I missing something?

Is this still on Grails 6?

Yes, I cannot upgrade to Grails 7 at the moment. After a good night of sleep I figured out that I had this configuration

bootRun {
    systemProperties System.properties
    sourceResources sourceSets.main
}

on both

build.gradle

(project root, applied to all

subprojects

) and

app/build.gradle

. Removing the latter fixed the issue, but I’m not sure why it was happening in the 1st place. Thanks for checking in!
