No such property: save for class ...

[Stephen Souness]

In an application that was recently upgraded to use Grails 1.1.1, I have struck an issue where a groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException is thrown if I try to save a newly instantiated domain object inside a service called by the controller of another domain object.

The exact same code works fine if I create an instance of the class from its own controller before visiting the page backed by the controller.

It seems like whatever is responsible for dynamically adding the GORM functionality to the domain object hasn't detected that it needs to work its magic before my service comes along.

You able to create an issue that reproduces the problem?

Hi Graeme,

I'll have a go at extracting the offending code out and reducing it down to the simplest example that reproduces the problem and consider filing a Jira.

In the mean time, here is a stack trace (names changed to protect the innocent) - in case that reveals anything.


groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: save for class: names.changed.here.LittlePicture

        at names.changed.here.BigPictureService.createBigPicture(BigPictureService.groovy:52)

        at names.changed.here.BigPictureService$$FastClassByCGLIB$$c8672998.invoke(<generated>)

        at net.sf.cglib.proxy.MethodProxy.invoke(MethodProxy.java:149)

        at names.changed.here.BigPictureService$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$26c00634.createBigPicture(<generated>)

        at names.changed.here.BigPictureService$createBigPicture.call(Unknown Source)

I have the same issue when saving a new User in a RegisterController which is basically the one generated by the Acegi plugin.

Not sure how to reproduce. It goes away after restarting the app server (Tomcat).

I'm not, and I assume he isn't either.

Brackets are there - even though they are not required.

You mean for the save() call? I don't see how that would work without
parentheses.

I stand corrected on the parenthesis issue - only optional if there is at least 1 argument and it is not ambiguous.

The crux of the original problem appears to be that we are attempting to create and store an object that Gorm hasn't seen yet.

We're not listing or presenting the user with any information from the database related to the "names.changed.here.LittlePicture" object.  Adding a call in BootStrap.groovy along the lines of LittlePicture.get(-1) is our current workaround, but it's a kludge.

Can you try to recompile your domain class? Remove the old one first.
It helped me twice.

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem. Recompiling the domain class did not solve the issue for me. But the workaround (MyDomainClass.get(-1) in BootStrap.groovy) worked. I'm quite concerned about that. It by the end of june right now and there still is not fix for that.

Best regards,

Christian

It is fixed in github HEAD and will be in the next milestone of 1.2

I get this error for several domain classes in a deployed application, I see it in the Stacktrace.log.

Questions:
1) is the "MyDomainClass.get(-1) in BootStrap.groovy)" a real workaround for 1.1.1?
2) Once the "save" exception has occured, do we have to restart the application to get "save" to work again?

Thanks

Fred
