Question

Grails 2.2

So this should be pretty easy, however I am constantly getting the same error message:

Class java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Message No enum constant myPackageName.RequestType.Banner

Here is my class:

public enum RequestType {
    BANNER("Banner"), OTHER("Other")

    final String value

    RequestType(String value) { this.value = value }

    String toString() { value }
}

This is driving me up the wall!!

Edit: Stacktrace

No enum constant myPackageName.RequestType.Banner. Stacktrace follows:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant myPackageName.RequestType.Banner

Here is how it is used in the class

class Project {
    ...
    RequestType requestType
    ...
}

Answer 1

Ok – so here is what happened.

I switched from using a String to using an Enum. The existing database had "Banner" in the field, which was causing this error. I changed the field to "BANNER" and I no longer receive this error.

Grails was attempting to do Enum.valueOf(RequestType, "Banner")
