Question

I have been able externalize DataSource configurations for development environment by updating grails.config.locations in Config.groovy and then setting specific configurations in .grails/${appName}-config.properties as following:

dataSource.driverClassName = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
dataSource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost/db-dev
dataSource.username = root
dataSource.password = pass

For the ‘test’ environment, i have different Database so i would like to updated test.dataSource.url accordingly but this doesn’t work. It still takes the ‘dev’ dataSource.url when running ‘grails test’ mode(i.e. grails test dgm-update). How to externalize test environment DataSource configuration?

Thank You for helping

Answer 1

grails.config.locations = ["file:${userHome}/.grails/${appName}-config-${grails.util.Environment.current.name}.properties"]

and then put nested files for each env:

/home/me/.grails/myapp-config-dev.properties
/home/me/.grails/myapp-config-test.properties
/home/me/.grails/myapp-config-production.properties
