Disable grails 2.0 resources processing, after deploy

Question

I've packaged my app into a war (by grails war), and as I see, it have built all required resources. For example I have coffeescript code, that have translated to into js dir. Same for scss, etc. I mean I have all static resources, that can be served directly (and I want to server it from Nginx, not Tomcat)

But after deploying this war into Tomcat, I'm getting errors like:

ERROR plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager  - Error configuring dynamic methods for plugin [resources:1.1.6]: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.mozilla.javascript.Parser.parse(Ljava/io/Reader;Ljava/lang/String;I)Lorg/mozilla/javascript/ScriptOrFnNode;

This one is from yui-minify-resources plugin. Similar thing happening for coffeescript-resources plugin. Maybe it's because there is something wrong with this plugins, but it's crazy, because I already have all resources, prepared/processed/compiled to static files. I don't need this plugins on production mode.

How I can disable all this resource plugins on production mode? Is it possible?

PS same thing for grails run-war

Answer 1

This is likely due to coffeescript-resources and yui-minify-resources both having a dependency to Rhino javascript engine, but the YUI team has made some modifications to their version of Rhino, which causes it to be incompatible with vanilla Rhino. You have two options:

1. Try hacking around with classloaders
2. Don't use YUI compressor
