In Grails, there is a variant how to include local plugin from sources. According to docs, one may type in BuildConfig.groovy
:
// Useful to test plugins you are developing.
grails.plugin.location.shiro =
"/home/dilbert/dev/plugins/grails-shiro"
// Useful for modular applications where all plugins and
// applications are in the same directory.
grails.plugin.location.'grails-ui' = "../grails-grails-ui"
The problem is that it doesn't work in Grails 2.0.RC1. I've tried to do grails clean
, to install plugin with grails install-plugin
and to place it to BuildConfig.groovy
. Still unable to resolve.
This works for me
grails.plugin.location.shiro = "/home/dilbert/dev/plugins/grails-shiro"
Where shiro
is the name of the plugin (not the name of the directory it's in). Make sure the path to the plugin is either an absolute path or the relative path to the plugin from the application.
I've found that this sometimes doesn't work if the plugin is listed in application.properties
or BuildConfig.groovy
, so if it is, remove it, then execute grails clean
and restart the app.
