Grails upgrade from 1.0.4 to 1.1 problems – part 2

If after upgrade to version 1.1 you will be hit by error like this:

 
...
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file from URL [file:/C:/GrailsApp/web-app/W
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\GrailsApp\web-app\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties
...
 

go to web.xml template file in \src\templates\war\ directory of your project and delete lines:

 
...
<context-param>
<param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>

Grails upgrade from 1.0.4 to 1.1 problems – part 1

Recently I have been upgrading Grails application from version 1.0.4 to version 1.1. After that my test fails with error:

 
No signature of method: roles.beans() is applicable for argument types: (roles$_run_closure1) values: [roles$_run_closure1@b7ad1a]
 

I found that problem was with fixtures. In version 1.0.4 of Grails code like this:

 
beans
{
    roleOne(Role)
    {
         name = ConfigurationHolder.config.security.role.user
    }
}
 

works correctly, but after upgrade instant beans{} we should use fixture{} statment:

 
fixture
{
    roleOne(Role)
    {
         name = ConfigurationHolder.config.security.role.user
    }
}
