Question

I have created two Hudson String Parameters in my parametrized build configuration: svnRoot, and svnBranch.

I can reference these just fine when specifying my Repository URL: ${svnRoot}/${svnBranch}/subProject.

But I have not been able to reference them as part of my Grails Build Target: "build-applet ${svnRoot}/${svnBranch}/appletProject username password" "war --non-interactive". build-applet invokes a Gant script in the Grails project at scripts\BuildApplet.groovy. This attempt yields the following error:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException:
No such property: svnRoot for class:

What is the best and or easiest way to achieve my goal?

Answer 1

From looking at the wiki page on the Grails plugin (http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Grails+Plugin), this should work

grails build-applet ${env.svnRoot}/${env.svnBranch}/appletProject username password

If not, I’d try a command line build step. Make sure you set GRAILS_HOME as the first line in the script then call grails.
