TestingTesting

Testing
Spock Framework integrated by default
Similar use as Spring Boot
– Well integrated (more easy, more features)
– Test Mixins for Unit test. Support for:
●
Domains and constraints
●
Controllers and filters
●
Tag libraries
●
Url mappings
●
Metaprogramming
– Integration Tests
– Functional Tests (GEB integrated by default)
See
Documentation!

Configuration
Similar as Spring Boot
Built configuration: build.gradle file
Runtime configuration: grailsapp/conf/application.yml by default
Grails 2.0-style: grailsapp/conf/application.groovy
Access: grailsApplication.config.getProperty('foo.bar.hello')
Spring @Value annotation

Configuration per Environments
Easy use of configuration by environments
Commands by environment
– Default environments: grails [environment] [command name]
– Custom environments: grails Dgrails.env=[customenvname] [commandname]
– Programmatic env. detection, per env. bootstraping, generic per env. execution
# Default environments
environments:
    development:
        dataSource:
            dbCreate: createdrop
            url: jdbc:h2:mem:devDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
    test:
        dataSource:
            dbCreate: update
            url: jdbc:h2:mem:testDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
    production:
        dataSource:
            dbCreate: update
            url: jdbc:h2:prodDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
        properties:
           jmxEnabled: true
           initialSize: 5
        ...

Execute & Deploy
Gradle tasks (run & package)
Grails commands
– run-app environment by default 'development'
– package (executable war of jar)
– war environment by default: 'production' (to deploy in a Servlet Container)
provided "org.springframework.boot:springbootstartertomcat"
List of supported containers: https://grails.org/wiki/Deployment
$ grails [environment] runapp
$ grails package
$ grails war

Deploy to cloud
Since grails is build on Spring Boot and permits create
standalone applications. The way to deploy on to the cloud is
similar with Spring Boot

Other Important TipsOther Important Tips

Other important tips
HAL support
Easy integration with Spring Security
– (Grails Spring Security Core Plugin not Grails3 compatible (use Spring Security
Starter for Spring Boot)
GORM & GSP's in Spring Boot
– Your can use them outside of Grails since Grails 2.4
Grails Scaffolding
Grails autorealoading by default
Grails custom marshalling easily
