Day 1 - Looking at Grails

  1. Tried to get "Getting Started with Grails" from InfoQ, but could not.
  2. 6/9/09: Downloaded grails-1.1.1 and put it in c:\grails-1.1.1 directory.
  3. Set up GRAILS_HOME as "c:grails-1.1.1". (6/9/09: Done)
  4. Tried "grails" and it worked.
  5. Ran "grails create-app" and named app "addressBook" and got 91 file/directories.
  6. Moved to longer "Introduction to Grails" article and ran "grails create-app testapp" (p.2) and it worked (i think).
  7. Then I moved into "testapp" directory and ran "grails create-domain-class Person" (p.2)
  8. Added 3 lines to grails-app/domain/Person.groovy file. (p.3)
  9. Then ran " grails create-controller Person" (p.3)
  10. Then add "def scaffold = true" to grails-app/controllers/PersonController.groovy file. (p.3)
  11. Then ran "grails run-app" and opened "localhost:8080/testapp" and it worked. (p.4)
  12. Then ran "grails generate-all Person" and it appears to work. (p.4)
  13. Added listYoungPeople action to controller. (p.6)
  14. Then ran 'grails create-tag-lib TestApp" to create TagLib. (p.6)
  15. Had to add "myTestTag" to grails-app/taglib/TestAppLib.groovy file (p.6)
  16. NO LOG FILES.
  17. Fixed a typo in TestAppLib.groovy and reRan it. Worked (p.7)
  18. Now tried the test-related grails options (create-integration-test, grails create-unit-test, grails test-app). They worked. Example: $ grails test-app
