Description

3 Datasources for prod/test/dev are created automatically by Grails if a new applciation is created.

Unfortunately, there is just one ApplicationBootstrap class. I (probably others) use the bootstrap to create a certain state in the db for my production/test environment, e.g. deleting all tables, then creating new rows, etc. The bootstrap for production needs to be different, of course.

The proposal is to have at least 3 BootStraps that are chosen based on the environment in:

From Guillaume:

What about some convention in the naming of the bootstrap classes?
DevEnvBootstrap, ProdEnvBootstrap, *EnvBootstrap ?

Cheers\
Sven

It would be good to be able to have more than just three setups... My problem is that I am writing on Windows for Linux and I need to configure different paths for the different os's.

Also I am using Google Maps which requires a new key for each machine.

Somehow I would love a kind of inheritance model. Where the child would override the parent.

Lets say my development machine is called duck, and my production machine is called Server123. If I was booting up grails on my development machine the bootstrap would first load
#duckBootstrap.groovy
#DevlopmentBootstrap.groovy
#Bootstrap.groovy

If it was on the production server then it would bootstrap
#Server123Bootstrap.groovy
#ProductionBootstrap.groovy
#Bootstrap.groovy

If was to boot up on any other environment where there was no configuration for that machine then it would just load Bootstrap.groovy.

PS: I don't like the idea of DevEnvBootstrap as a naming convention because we are swapping names around already from dev to development in grails.env

I was just looking for how to do this... I have different databases for dev, test & prod and the dataset I need to test some of the functions is rather large, so I don't want to start over from scratch every time...

Now possible with:

   def init = { ServletContext ctx ->
        environments {
            production {
                ctx.setAttribute("env", "prod")
            }
            development {
                ctx.setAttribute("env", "dev")
            }
        }
        ctx.setAttribute("foo", "bar")
    }
