I’m just getting started with Groovy/Grails.

I added a new domain controller to my project, and generate-controller doesn’t like it.

There are other indications something’s wrong: If I run the app no table is actually created in the database for this.

I’ve reduced the DomainController to one String field and no constraints, just to make sure there wasn’t something wrong with my specification. I also tried renaming it, just in case there was something about the original name (Privacy) that conflicted with something.

I’m sure I have the correct name, and that the file is called PrivacyOptions.groovy and inside the class is also called PrivacyOptions.

Here’s the error:

Running script /opt/local/grails/scripts/GenerateController.groovy
Environment set to development
Domain class not found in grails-app/domain, trying hibernate mapped classes...
No domain class found for name PrivacyOptions. Please try again and enter a valid domain class name

    Add the project name (aka the package name from the first line of the model file) before the model name.

    grails generate-all projectname.Class

    This is the one that finally worked for me, after an hour of head scratching and googling.

    ref: http://grails.1312388.n4.nabble.com/Generate-Scaffold-Scripts-Don-t-Work-Getting-No-domain-class-found-Error-td2017858.html#a2017880

    As of 1.2.2 Grails creates artifacts in packages that default to your
    project name – see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-5713
    So you’d need to run grails generate-all srapp.Srmodel
