Grails 2.2.2: Does not pick up changes from within the grails shell

[Harry Simons]

Hello,

I'm having a really difficult time getting Grails to pick my changes
from within the Grails shell (ie, from the 'grails> ' prompt).

Details:
1. I stop the app via a 'stop-app' (at the grails> prompt).
2. I make very simple edits to one of my domain classes using gedit.
3. I then do a 'run-app'. Grails does say 'Compiling 1 source files'
but doesn't pick up my edits.

I have tried a 'clean' followed by a 'run-app' and same results.

However, if I exit the Grails shell and say 'grails run-app', I can
see my edits taking effect. The problem is, restarting Grails during
development is proving to be very, VERY time consuming. Can somebody
please suggest a fix or a workaround, or at least confirm that this is
a known problem.

I'm using:
Grails 2.2.2
Groovy 2.1.5
Java 1.6.0_43
Ubuntu 13.x

Folks...? Are you there??

As part of my current Grails self-learning exercise, I anticipate doing
"short code editing --> result inspection --> repeat..." cycles a few dozen
times a day at least.

Thus, I'd really like to know about some solution or workaround. (Wondering:
If I'm the only one facing this issue, then what am I doing wrong? And if
others too are facing this issue, then how are they are coping with it?)

Many thanks in advance,

Anyone want to chime in on whether their reloading works from the shell. Hard to believe it's universally broken.

reloading works fine here with 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. Here is something from an older mail I've sent to the list, which usually helped me if I had reloading issues:

"So, I updated my dependencies (resources to 1.2) , run 'refresh-dependencies' and 'clean' and it seems that reloading is back to normal"

Cheers,
Steve

I did some simple tests with a newly created app. In general, I found live reloading to work for me, with some caveats.

I could add new domains, add scaffold controller, add some fields, refresh and it showed up.

Could make changes to the fields, wait just a little bit and then the changed fields would appear.

This was all with database configured as "create-drop".

When I configured the database with "update", changes and refresh would give a Missing Method error on the list method of the domain.

** Grails team, is this expected with the update config? Raise a Jira?

Domain class reloading is somewhat hit or miss in my experience. That's
especially true if you are changing persistent properties. Lari Hotari has
some changes still in the works that allow reloading the domain class
without reinitializing the session factory. That seems to help prevent some
of the MethodMissing issues that occur for us.

For everything else, reloading seems to work pretty well in interactive
mode (in 2.2.3).

BTW, you can disable the session factory reloading via:

hibernate {
reload = false
}

I’m currently having similar issues with a newly created plugin. When I run a unit test changes in the service are not picked up. The GrailsProjectWatcher detects the change but it seems that the change is not applied.

Other grails apps are working fine, it’s just this plugin that is not working properly. I’m not sure if this is due to Mac OS X 10.9, but I’ve created a jira and attached an example project that shows this problem, maybe you can let me know if you can reproduce it:
http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-10255

Check that reloading is actually enabled. This can be seen in the index.gsp
page of a new app.

If not try passing the -reloading flat when starting the shell:

grails -reloading

I had the same problem with Grails 2.2.3. I created a test app, created the
domain classes, mucked with the DataSource.groovy and took a look at a
couple of other conf files, started the app (typed run-app from grails
command popup) , clicked on the only controller available
(databasemigration.DbdocController), went to the dbconsole, did not login to
the dbconsole, stopped the app, added some controllers, started the app,
none of the new controllers showed up.

The FIX was:
- right click project name in "Project Explorer".
- From the context menu select "Refresh"
- right click project name in "Project Explorer".
- From the context menu select:
- Run as -> 'Grails command (run-app)'

So the fix worked even after doing 'Grails Tools -> Refresh Dependencies'
didn't fix it.
- Still a great stack (my current favorite) but it take a bit of fiddling
with (~5-10 minutes).
Cheers,
Alex
