Can I split config.groovy file of grails?

Question

As there is sensitive code in the config.groovy file, I am afraid that my friends will commit with bugs in this file. When getting svn update, we too will get the buggy config code.

Can i split the code at config.groovy in such a way that the sensitive code remains untouched and the other can be changed frequently?

Answer 1

Inside your main config file you are able to access this variable:

grails.config.locations

It is a list of configuration file locations to which you can add your own files:

grails.config.locations << 'file:MyConfigFile.groovy'

These files will then be added to your configuration.
