functional test plugin overwrites essential config files

[sebastianb]

Hi,

after installing the functional testing plugin i tried to create a test with:

grails create-functional-test MyTest

following output occured:


Welcome to Grails 1.3.5 - http://grails.org/
Licensed under Apache Standard License 2.0

Base Directory: /home/sebastian/work/...

   [delete] Deleting: /home/sebastian/work/myapp/grails-app-files.jar

By extracting grails-app-files.jar all essential config file got overriden and no test file was created in AppFolder/test/functional

The same happens with a new created grails app (using grails 1.3.5).

I am clueless

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Hi,

I can confirm this problem. Anybody knows where to file a bug or where the sourcecode is hosted?

Thanks,

Mirko

Install the snapshot release of the plugin to get around this. 1.3-RC1

This problem occurs because the functionality/purpose of GRAILS_HOME/scripts/Init.groovy changed significantly between Grails releases (I think in the 1.2.x > 1.3.x cycle)

The same problem seems to exist in with Grails-1.3.7 and plugin version 1.3-RC1 as well.

Has anyone gotten this to work with Grails-1.3.7?

If so, how?

Thanks,

Not here, and it's a thorn that has come up over and over for me :(

I'm instead using groovy shell scripts from the command line, which is pretty gross. 

Please excuse my brevity. Sent while on the go.

Probably isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but I tried the functional test plugin about 4 months ago with absolutely no success.  Uninstalled and just went without functional tests until I saw some posts about Geb + Spock.  Been diving into it and it works really well.  See especially the example application here: https://github.com/geb/geb-example-grails

 

Not sure if this is well documented (haven’t looked honestly), but grails 1.3.7 supports functional testing out of the box by just adding a test/functional folder.  Haven’t tried junit tests with it yet however, just spock and geb.

 

Hope that helps for what it’s worth.

+1 for the geb/spock solution. If you are just starting to
functionally test your application, I would definitely favour it over
the functional-test plugin.

We recently removed the functional-test plugin from our project as it
was causing us some issues too (unfortunately I can't remember what
they were), and moved our tests over to Geb.

Cheers,
Antony
