Update 2.0.2 -> 2.0.3 / how to do ?

[PrinzBernhard]

Hi,

I am new to grails, I started with 2.0.2.
There is now an update 2.0.3.

How do I update from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3
Just download the ZIP-File and copy it over the old installation?

Or any more elegant way ?

I find with google an command  grails-update ,
but this is no longer existent.

Yours Bernhard

[David]

I download, unzip into a parallell dir to 2.0.2 (/opt/share in my case), and in there I have a symlink from grails-2.0.3 to grails:

...
grails -> grails-2.0.3
grails-1.3.7
grails-2.0.1
grails-2.0.2
grails-2.0.3
...

In an environment variable named $GRAILS_HOME I'm pointing to this symlinked dir, and I also put $GRAILS_HOME/bin into my path (in /etc/profile):

...
export GRAILS_HOME=/opt/share/grails
...
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${GROOVY_HOME}/bin:${GRAILS_HOME}/bin:${ROO_HOME}/bin
...

If i now run "grails -version" in a console I can verify that 2.0.3 is my current version, and then in the project directory i run "grails upgrade" to take the project up to that version.

Well, you should download and unzip it where you like (don't copy it over the
old installation!) and may add the new directory
grails-2.0.3/bin to your PATH environment variable (and remove the old entry
for 2.0.2).

So, when you type the grails command inside a terminal/console the command
will be found without having to specify the whole path to the grails
executable.

For Unix/Linux you can add this (as root user) globally in /etc/profile:
or just locally for your user in ~/.profile (/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.profile)
i.e.

export GRAILS_HOME=/opt/grails/grails-2.0.3/
export PATH=$GRAILS_HOME/bin/:$PATH

For windows see: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

You should reboot your machine for both windows and unix/linux.

To make sure the entry in PATH points to the right bin folder type
   grails -version
in a console.

The output should be like:
Grails version: 2.0.3

Don't know anything about a grails-update command or application, but there is
a goal for upgrading.

Simply type
        grails upgrade
inside your project directory.

This is how I install and upgrade on my linux box:

1. Unzip the binary unto any dir. I normally have a folder where I store all the grails binaries..

3. Create a link on /usr/local to grails installation. E.g:

cd /usr/local 

ln -s /path/to/my/grails-version/dir grails

3. Change owner and permissions for the grails link. I am the only user on my box, so I just hand off ownership to my account.

4. Create the environment variables. I normally place these on .bashrc. To have it take effect immediately, just type . .bashrc. Or close the terminal and open a new one. No need for reboot.

5. Place the /usr/local/$GRAILS_HOME/bin on my path.

6. And now user grails :)

 For upgrades, then all i have to do is to drop the link and create a new grails link that points to my new installation:

cd /usr/local

unlink grails

ln -s /path/to/my/grails-new-version/dir grails

And now I can use the newest version of grails without much hassle.

Hi,

thanks for the super fast, long and complete help .
Thnis gives me a good introduction to the grooy/grails community.

I work under Windows, so I don´t have symbolic links.

I follow your suggestion and changed my strategy from  
GRAIL_HOME=C:\grails   to
GRAILS_HOME=C:\grails-2.0.3
(and PATH the same)

Thanks again for helping

[bksaville]

There are symbolic and hard links in windows, just not as well known :)

Try mklink from a command shell. I use this myself to do exactly what David
is suggesting.

HTH,
-Brian

Here's a great tool if you're working on Mac OS or Unix-like systems:  http://cantina.co/2012/01/10/managing-your-grails-versions-with-gswitch/

gswitch enables you to easily switch back and forth between grails version with a single command.  It also installs new versions of grails.  This little script is a real time / human error saver.

At least for Linux / Mac, there's a more convenient way:

https://github.com/deluan/grails.sh

Assuming that all Grails versions are installed in the same directory on your machine (e.g., /opt/grails-1.3.7, /opt/grails-2.0.2 and so on), this script will automatically call the right grails version for you, depending on the project! I've used it myself successfully with both a 1.3.7 project and a 2.0.0.

[tuler]

For Mac users, grails is available through the excellent Homebrew. 2.0.3 is available now.

Homebrew also supports multiple installed versions.

Best regards,

Danilo

Abraço,

Danilo

grails.sh is great - super simple and no hassle.  It works on Windows
with bash too.
