grails-core | The Grails Web Application Framework | Application Framework library

Recently, we migrated our backend APIs from Grails 3 to Grails 5.1.1 Together with it we also upgraded java version to 11. Everything is running on Docker. Otherwise, nothing else has changed.

After the migration, we are now facing performance issues. But it's a weird one.

First, we got some results from NewRelic:

NewRelic is showing that org.grails.web.mapping.mvc.GrailsControllerUrlMappingInfo is to blame. There is nothing else underneath it that is slow. Digging a bit deeper, we found an article (from a while ago) which claims that NewRelic is not instrumenting Grails very well.

At this point, we were trying to reproduce the issues locally and we did. Created a simple function that wraps whatever we need with a timer to measure how long things taking to execute:

We recently upgraded our project from Grails 3 to 5.1.1. Actually, it was not really an upgrade but rather a migration. We ended up creating a fresh project with 5.1.1 and migrated all of our code into it. Everything is currently working with an exception of one warning:

I would like to disable the dynamic reload mechanism in Grails4/5.

In my case it's not effective enough so I rather avoid all the "File {} changed, recompiling..." messages

I'm very well aware of suggestions like this to put grails.agent.enabled = false in build.gradle

but this seems not to work.

I found in the source code this if condition:

I get this error below when running a Grails 2.4.5 project (full stacktrace)

I'm currently trying to run our app that's in Grails 2.3.11 through docker-compose with the database. I have the database up and running without issue, and also the app container sets up grails and starts the compilation process, but it goes on to downloading all the packages every time I stop and restart the package. This becomes an issue because we have to download so many packages (And there's a bunch of errors we have to work around because Grails 2). I've tried to mount my local grails folders into the container to have it run off of those but it seems to not be having any success. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong, or some way I can easily check where the issue might be?

I'm also attempting to map all local database information into the mysql container with issue. But I haven't looked into it much yet, if you see an obvious issue there that would be helpful.

docker-compose.yml:

I am working with Grails 3.3.11 and Java 1.8.0_275 (open).

All of a sudden my project stopped working. When I run grails clean, or run-app it says:

When I try to create a functional test using:

grails create-functional-test acceptance.tests.Logout

I'm getting this error, because Spock tries to use a wrong Groovy version:

But in my project only Groovy 3 is a library.
