Grails Goodness: Run Groovy Scripts in Grails Context
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.
Join For FreeWe can use the run-script
command to run Groovy scripts within the context of a Grails application. We can pass one or more Groovy scripts as argument to the run-script
command. The Grails environment will be configured and we can access the Spring application context, domain classes, Grails services and more. Basically everything we can do in the Grails console or shell can be saved as a Groovy script and run with the run-script
command.
The following Groovy script shows some stats for a Grails application:
// File: src/scripts/appstatus.groovy import grails.util.Environment import static grails.util.Metadata.current as metaInfo header 'Application Status' row 'App version', metaInfo['app.version'] row 'Grails version', metaInfo['app.grails.version'] row 'Groovy version', GroovySystem.version row 'JVM version', System.getProperty('java.version') row 'Reloading active', Environment.reloadingAgentEnabled row 'Controllers', grailsApplication.controllerClasses.size() row 'Domains', grailsApplication.domainClasses.size() row 'Services', grailsApplication.serviceClasses.size() row 'Tag Libraries', grailsApplication.tagLibClasses.size() println() header 'Installed Plugins' ctx.getBean('pluginManager').allPlugins.each { plugin -> row plugin.name, plugin.version } void row(final String label, final value) { println label.padRight(18) + ' : ' + value.toString().padLeft(8) } void header(final String title) { final int length = 29 println '-' * length println title.center(length) println '-' * length }
We can invoke the script with the following command:
$ grails run-script src/scripts/appstatus.groovy | Running script src/scripts/appstatus.groovy ... ----------------------------- Application Status ----------------------------- App version : 0.1 Grails version : 2.4.0 Groovy version : 2.3.1 JVM version : 1.7.0_51 Reloading active : false Controllers : 2 Domains : 0 Services : 3 Tag Libraries : 15 ----------------------------- Installed Plugins ----------------------------- i18n : 2.4.0 logging : 2.4.0 dataBinding : 2.4.0 restResponder : 2.4.0 core : 2.4.0 codecs : 2.4.0 urlMappings : 2.4.0 jquery : 1.11.1 databaseMigration : 1.4.0 assetPipeline : 1.8.7 webxml : 1.4.1 tomcat : 7.0.53 controllers : 2.4.0 filters : 2.4.0 servlets : 2.4.0 mimeTypes : 2.4.0 dataSource : 2.4.0 groovyPages : 2.4.0 domainClass : 2.4.0 controllersAsync : 2.4.0 converters : 2.4.0 scaffolding : 2.1.0 hibernate4 : 4.3.5.3 validation : 2.4.0 services : 2.4.0 cache : 1.1.6 | Script src/scripts/appstatus.groovy complete! $
