Grails: Unable to generate views

Question

This is a very basic thing and I have no idea why am not able to do this. I am using Grails 2.3.5

I have a domain class com.trail.AuditTrail and I want it scaffolded views. So, here are the steps I followed:

• ran grails create-controller com.trail.AuditTrail, this returned a message saying it generated:

  grails-app/controller/trail/AuditTrailController

  grails-app/views/auditTrail (just the folder!)

  It also created AuditTrailControllerSpec.groovy.

• Then I added the line static scaffold = true in the Controller.

• Then ran generate-views to create the views, but nothing got created !

IMPORTANT: In fact grails says that there is no command called as generate-views. When I did grails help it didn't list generate-views. So, I thought may be 2.3.5 doesn't have the command and tried generate-all. This too failed. To my surprise, grails help didn't show up generate-all too !

Then I found this bug: https://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-10530. So, I tried clean, refresh-dependencies, compile and then generate-all. But still the same problem.

I thought my local grails setup is messed up. So, asked my colleague. He too sees the same problems.

My problem is I am not able to create the default template GSPs out of the domain.

Answer 1

Scaffolding functionality was extracted from Grails core in 2.3, so you need to install scaffolding plugin for Grails 2.3.5 to be able to use generate-all, generate-views GANT scripts.

P.S. I suggest you to switch to Grails 2.3.6 or 2.3.7. For more details take a look at this article http://www.gopivotal.com/security/cve-2014-0053

Answer 2
