Can the 1.7 version be released since 1.6 does not work with Grails 2.5.3

[zaccak]

Running the 1.6 version on Grails 2.5.3 results in:

Compilation error: startup failed:
/xxx/target/work/plugins/export-1.6/src/groovy/de/andreasschmitt/export/exporter/ExporterUtil.groovy: 5: unable to resolve class org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils
@ line 5, column 1.
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils
^
1 error

This is fixed in the 1.7 snapshot over a year ago. Can the 1.7 be released as final? Thanks!

It would be nice to hace 1.7 released when possible but in the meantime, if you want to use the plugin with 2.5.3, please try to use the snapshot version of the plugin.

grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
  ...

  repositories {
    ...
    mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/core"
  }

  dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.8.3'
  }
  plugins {
    ...
    compile ":export:1.7-SNAPSHOT"
  }
}

Let me know if that works for you.

The snapshot works without the:
dependencies {
...
compile 'commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.8.3'
}

Good to know it. Thanks!

1.6 works with Grails 2.5.3
Just add this in your repository section

repositories {
...
      mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/core"
}

1.7 actually has a bug where the auto export is expect the parameter 'format' but then 'f' is used. It needs to change to format since in the sample code that's actually what is being expected

Any chance that it will work with grails 3?

@psnehal It depends on what you mean by "it". There is a version of the export plugin for Grails 3. https://bintray.com/grails/plugins/org.grails.plugins:export

[psnehal]

Thank you Jeff for replying. I was adding different version no. Now its works.

Adding def grailsApplication in controller gives following error.
Please let me know if you know anything about this error:

ERROR grails.boot.GrailsApp - Compilation Error: startup failed:
my-app/grails-app/controllers/testconsig1/Fileup1Controller.groovy: -1: The return type of java.lang.Object getGrailsApplication() in testconsig1.Fileup1Controller is incompatible with grails.core.GrailsApplication in grails.web.api.WebAttributes
. At [-1:-1] @ line -1, column -1.

Controllers in Grails 2 and Grails 3 already have an implicit dependency injection for GrailsApplication, so you're adding a second. In Grails 2 it's not typed (def grailsApplication) but in Grails 3 it is typed (GrailsApplication grailsApplication), so you've effectively added an override, but with a less specific return type which is invalid. Just delete your def grailsApplication and use the one that's already there.

We have releases for Grails 3.x to 6.x and a fresh one for Grails 7+. There is no work planned for Grails 2.x as it is obsolete for a very long time.

If there is extreme pressure for a Grails 2.x release, this could be reopened.
