Question

Hi, I am new to the Grails platform…

I could create the User, Role and UserRole domain objects in the BootStrap class init method in the grails-1.3.7 version with the Spring Security Core Plugin … But can not do the same in the grails-2.0.1 version..

Following is the code that I’m trying to execute …

import com.beshto.Role
import com.beshto.User
import com.beshto.UserRole
import grails.util.Environment

class BootStrap {

  def init = {  servletContext ->
    switch (Environment.current) {
      case Environment.DEVELOPMENT:
        createInitialUsersIfRequired()
        break;
      case Environment.PRODUCTION:
        println "No special config or Bootstrapping required for the Production version..."
        break;
    }
  }

  def destroy = {
  }

  void createInitialUsersIfRequired() {
    println "Creating special config / Bootstrapping for Development version admin/4321 and user/1234..."

    if(Role.list().size() == 0) {
      new Role(authority: 'ROLE_ADMIN').save(flush: true)
      new Role(authority: 'ROLE_USER').save(flush: true)
    }

    if(User.count() == 0){
      def newAdmin = new User(username: 'admin', enabled: true, password: '4321').save(flush: true)
      def newUser = new User(username: 'user', enabled: true, password: '1234').save(flush: true)

      UserRole.create newAdmin, Role.findByAuthority('ROLE_ADMIN'), true
      UserRole.create newUser, Role.findByAuthority('ROLE_USER'), true

      assert User.count() == 2
      assert Role.count() == 2
    }
  }
}

Any HELP will be highly appreciated!

Check role creation method. Try to change:

new Role(authority: 'ROLE_ADMIN').save(flush: true)

for

new Role(authority: 'ROLE_USER').save(failOnError: true)

And the same case for the users. For example:

new User(username: 'admin', enabled: true, password: '4321').save(failOnError: true)

instead of

new User(username: 'admin', enabled: true, password: '4321').save(flush: true)
