Grails Plugins and Team City

Question

This is my current scenario:

I have checked in my grails app code + Groovy Folder + Grails Folder using GIT to teamcity. Now when I try to run it Teamcity trows me this error:

[13:33:35]: Error reading remote plugin list [java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect], building locally...
[13:33:35]: Plugins list cache doesn't exist creating..
[13:33:36]: Unable to list plugins, please check you have a valid internet connection: Connection refused: connect

[13:33:39]: Unable to list plugins, please check you have a valid internet connection: Connection refused: connect
[13:33:39]: Plugin 'db-util' was not found in repository. If it is not stored in a configured repository you will need to install it manually. Type 'grails list-plugins' to find out what plugins are available.
[13:33:39]: [delete] Deleting directory C:\Documents and Settings\RiskSystemsBuildSA\.grails\1.2.2\projects\f8c726f1e64e048c\plugins\tomcat-1.2.2
[13:33:41]: Process exited with code 1
[13:33:41]: Build finished

I think I will have to package the plugins inside my app and then check them in GIT.

Please let me know your say on this matter.

Much Appreciated.

p.s.Teamcity correctly picks up the installed groovy and grails as I store .\grails and .\groovy in my teamcity environmen variables.

Answer 1

Well I finally achieved it. I added a line in the build.config file:

grails.project.plugins.dir="./grails/plugins"

This basically creates a dir plugins inside your project directories and downlaods all the zips in here. Next I checked in all the zips and the plugin directory in GIT. Since, everything was checked-in, teamcity didn't have any reason to moan about.

Everything else is going smooth now.
