Grails Diary - Week 20 in 2015

19 May 2015

At a first glance, this appeared to be a quiet week, but I was wrong. There are quite a few blogs, videos releases and other news this week: The Groovy Community never disappoints!

As a great help for Gradle Plugin authors, Schalk Cronjé is working on the GradleTest Gradle plugin, for testing compatibility with various versions on Gradle. You can supply input to features that should be included in version 1.0 at https://github.com/ysb33r/gradleTest/issues.

Gretty, the Gradle plugin for running webapps on Tomcat & Jetty now available in version 1.2.3, see the full list of updates

Kostis Kapelonis is ready with chapter 4 of the "Java Testing with Spock" in the Manning MEAP program. After several tries, it appears there wil be a Spock book ;)

For the GVM tool, the Gradle GVM SDK Vendor Plugin is now available on the Gradle Plugin Portal. If you're an SDK vendor, you should get it: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/net.gvmtool.sdkvendor

Craig Burke has updated the Lazybones template for angular and Grails to Grails 3.0.1, and his angular-grails test app, and reports the update was very painless! Sounds like the update to Grails 3.0 is not as hard as expected
