Grails db-migration plugin

Question

I'm trying to change my database model, so I followed this tutorial. Btw I'm using Grails 1.3.7.

I ran:

grails install-plugin database-migration

It installed fine!

But when I ran:

dbm-generate-gorm-changelog changelog.groovy

It gave me the following error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: grails-app\migrations\changelog.groovy (The system cannot find the path specified)

Answer 1

you may be missing a "--add":

dbm-generate-gorm-changelog --add changelog.groovy
