Sometimes you may need to mock Grails (application) configuration in an unit or integration test. E.g. you want to test code which normally would access the property jmxEnabled from the following configuration block: In Grails 2 in Config.groovy

1 2 3 |
someService { jmxEnabled = true } |
or Grails 3 in application.yml
|
1 2 |
someService: jmxEnabled: true |
Here’s are the most simple options for a Grails 2.4.x or Grails 3.0.x Spock unit- or integration … Lees verder How to mock configuration in a Grails unit- or integration test?
When working with GORM domain classes and using DetachedCriteria (for example the ‘where’ method on domain classes), you will notice at some point that all joins will be inner joins! If the database setup requires an outer (left) join, then the default GORM api has no way to specify this, so you will need a workaround. This workaround works by … Lees verder Outer joins and domain classes
Since Groovy 1.8 we can check if a Map is equal to another Map if the keys and values are the same. Very convenient in tests for example.

def someMap = [age: 34, name: "Ted"] assert someMap == [name: "Ted", age: 34] |
Today I kept staring at a failure, while testing some x and y graph data points returned by a Grails controller, where two Maps were somehow not equal according to Spock, … Lees verder Grails’ JSONObject.NULL More or Less Equal To Null

Caches are difficult to get right, and difficult to maintain. To get an insight into how well the Spring method caches we are using actually work, I added some logging. Spring method caches are annotated using ‘Cacheable’. It seemed like a good idea to at least have some information on: how often a cache is hit how long the call … Lees verder Debugging caches using groovy logging
[box type=”shadow”]Or: “getting parallel deployment to work when using EhCache”[/box] Caching During our regular Grails development work, we apply both Hibernate with second level caching and Spring method level caching. They both use EhCache by default. This seems to be the only mature implementation choice for the Grails platform. All this used to work fine (so we thought) until we … Lees verder Fix CacheManager with same name grails-cache-ehcache
