Question

I’ve been trying to get the grails selenium plugin installed for the project I’m working on. I’m inside the project dir but, when I execute the following command

grails install-plugin selenium

I get the following error,

Resolving plugin selenium. Please wait...

Error resolving plugin [name:selenium, group:org.grails.plugins,

Plugin not found for name [selenium] and version [not specified]

Any ideas? I’ve tried “grails clean” but aside from that I don’t have many ideas and couldn’t find anything about this online.

Answer 1

once again I find myself answering my own question, but here’s the answer that worked for me.

First I had to install the zip file containing the grails selenium plugin. The one I used was grails-selenium-0.8.zip (which can be found through the selenium website or a google search).

Next what was really getting me was that the GRAILS_HOME environment variable was not set correctly. I’d been using grails for months now and things such as install and clean had been working I would even get the message

 Grails home is set to: /usr/share/grails/1.3.8

however when I checked my environment variables using

env | grep GRAILS_HOME

I got nothing. So I went into .bashrc and added the following lines to the very bottom of that file,

export GRAILS_HOME=/usr/share/grails/1.3.8
export PATH=$GRAILS_HOME:$PATH

I re-started the terminal and ran

grails install-plugin ../grails-selenium-0.8.zip

and finally found success.
