grails 2.4.2 searchable plugin

Question

I have installed the searchable plugin in grails 2.4.2.

compile ":searchable:0.6.9"

It is getting installed successfully but when I run the application, it gives this error. I do not have any controllers made. just one domain class which is declared searchable. How to resolve this?

Answer 1

Can you try using the command line installing the searchable plugin.

grails install-plugin searchable (I am assuming you are using java 1.5+)

once the plugin is installed then try to have make your domain searchable since I believe the Searchable controllers and service classes are created during the installation.

Answer 2

What version of Hibernate plugin are you using? Note that Searchable plugin does not work with Hibernate 4; you must use Hibernate 3 instead.
