Grails 2.3.8 dependency resolution

Question

I have 2 plugins - plugin A and plugin B.

Plugin B contains a domain class.I have then used the command - grails package-plugin on the plugin B.

I have declared the plugin dependency in the buildconfig.groovy of plugin A like below:

 plugins {      
     build(":release:3.0.1",
          ":rest-client-builder:1.0.3") {
        export = false
    }
    compile ":plugin-b:0.1"
 }

I have created a service class in plugin A, which uses the domain class from plugin B. Now, When I try to refresh-dependencies on plugin A / or do a package-plugin on plugin A, it gives me error that it is not able to find the domain class from plugin b.

Any one has any idea if I am missing anything here?

Answer 1

You can tell grails that plugin A depends on plugin B by adding a dependsOn to plugin A.

class APlugin {
  def dependsOn = [B : "<version>"]
}

See Plugin load order in the Grails documentation.
