Script help: how to invoke grails install-plugin

[interz]

Hi,
I have several small grails projects all using some common plugins. I am trying to write a groovy script, that lives outside of a grails project which can install a common plugin to all of my grails projects.

basically I need it to copy the plugin zip to the grails project dir, then invoke "grails install-plugin <zip>" from each project dir.

I can figure out the copy part, but am having trouble with the plugin installation part.

Any help appreicated

This is an educated guess :) since install-plugin itself must be a script, I'm guessing that you should find out how to invoke a script from another script... shouldn't be hard...

Yeah, but the problem is that this groovy script lives outside of the grails project directories.

You might be able to use the ant library to spoof a basedir and run
your script --- see first comment on the link
( http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/Using+Ant+from+Groovy )

This may work (untested though):

"grails install-plugin your-plugin.zip".execute([], "your grails app path" as File)

http://groovy.codehaus.org/groovy-jdk/java/lang/String.html#execute(java.util.List%20envp,%20java.io.File%20dir)

Cheers

Another option is to look a the "startGrails" script in
$GRAILS_HOME/bin and use it as a reference for invoking the
GrailsScriptRunner class. It this script runner that you really need
to use to execute the InstallPlugin script.

BTW, why are you copying the plugin zip? InstallPlugin will copy it
into the "plugins" directory of the project anyway.

Cheers,

Peter

we are creating a suite of plugins all that share a common base plugin. When that plugin is updated we want to go to one place and update all projects that require it.

If its another Gant script you can do:

includeTargets << new File ( "${grailsHome}/scripts/InstallPlugin.groovy" )

args = "/path/to/plugin.zip"

installPlugin()

Cheers
