In grails 2.x, we were allowed to add an in place plugin by adding following in BuildConfig.groovy
grails.plugin.location."my-plugin" = "../my-plugin"
My question is, can we add our local plugins similarly in-place in grails3.0 as well or there is some other way to do this in grails.
Actual purpose is to test the plugin whether it's working properly or not before pushing it to bintray.
By default the plugins are in . grails/<version>/<project>/plugins . You can change it by setting grails. project.
A Grails plugin project is just like an application project except it contains a plugin descriptor and can be packaged as a plugin and installed into other applications. Plugins are not just useful for plugin developers, but also as a way to modularize large Grails applications.
Yes, there is. Grails 3 is based on Gradle so multi-project gradle builds solve your issue.
Basically you add dependency as:
compile project(':../my-custom-plugin')
and has to modify settings.gradle
to include plugin:
include '../my-custom-plugin'
Check Grails documentation on Plugins and Multi-Project Builds
in http://grails.github.io/grails-doc/latest/guide/plugins.html
Other way is to install plugin in local maven repository using gradle publishToMavenLocal
command and resolve if from there, before publishing to Bintray or other dependency repository.
Additionally since Grails 3.1.1, reloading is now supported for 'inline' plugins. Check https://github.com/grails/grails-core/releases/tag/v3.1.1 and http://grails.io/post/138665751278/grails-3-gradle-multi-project-builds
It is done using grails { plugins {
syntax. Copied from docs:
grails {
plugins {
compile ":hibernate"
compile project(':myplugin')
}
}
