Grails Engineering Meeting Notes (10 21 2021)

Attendees

I have been fixing some minor bugs in Grails 5 and will be doing a 5.0.1 release this week
- There was an issue with the GSP plugins that was incompatible with Gradle 7
- There is a minor issue in core
I am planning on updating the Spring Security plugin next week
The next thing I'd like to update is the database migration plugin
We had a kickoff meeting with Gradle Enterprise to set up Gradle Enterprise for Grails
I'm joining the Groovy podcast tomorrow
Grails Application Forge doesn't work with Grails 4 right now
- Jason: I don't think that it is a big issue that Forge doesn't create Grails 4 applications. I think we should instead focus our efforts on the CLI rewrite that will make all of that easier in the future
- James: I think you'll be able to re-use a lot of the Micronaut CLI for that
There is also an issue with JetBrains where you can't generate new projects with Grails 5 right now

I have been able to reproduce the issue here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10303
- I'm going to ask that this be backported to Groovy 3
We should update to Groovy 3 once this is introduced to that branch
- James: I think we should wait until 5.1 to update to 3.0.9, as it also adds support for Java 17
I think I may have narrowed down what is unique about Grails apps that is slowing the Groovy compiler down
- I think it has something to do with the transformations required for services, controllers, etc
