Cannot configure Grails 3.0.4 in GGTS, Grails installed using GVM

Question

I have installed GGTS 3.6.4 and also Groovy & Grails using GVM on my MAC OS. In GGTS, Preferences - Configure Grails Installation - Add, I want to add the latest grails installed by GVM in /Users/user/.gvm/grails/current I have also enabled the hidden folders in Mac.

Answer 1

According to the GGTS website, it only supports Grails 1.3/2.x (not the latest Grails 3.x). Pivotal discontinued support for GGTS earlier this year.

The best IDE alternative currently is IntelliJ IDEA. Grails 3 is built on Gradle, so no special support for Grails is necessary as IDEA already has excellent support for Gradle projects.

Answer 2

grails version 3.x.x doesn't contain build.properties file.

So, you should follow the following steps:

1. Create /grails-3.x.x/build.properties file.
2. Inside build.properties write the content version name as

grails.version=3.1.1

3. Now, open GGTS .
4. Go to Window/Preferences.
5. Type grails in the 'type filter text'.
6. Select Grails.
7. Now click on Add button on the right panel to add grails version 3.x.x .
8. Select the grails version from the My computer.
9. You are ready to go.

Your GGTS will recognize it as now Grails installation.
