Recently I was faced with the task of cleaning up a Git repository whose branches were not "pruned" for a few years, so I am talking about several hundreds of branches.
This situation can make using Git through the command line or a GUI front-end client a very cumbersome experiece. That's why I usually recommend, as a general rule, to delete any feature or bugfix branch after it gets merged to a "higher level" branch. Because they became "redundant".
The
For those of you who never heard of it before, WebJars is an open and community driven initiative that tries to leverage the existing Maven based dependecy resolution tools and principles to manage the client side dependencies of your web application. Each WebJar is a standar JAR file that contains a set of curated files (Classic WebJars) for a given library. Recently you can also reference Bower and NPM packages but I would not recommend it.
Previously I have tried
I have decided to give a go to the latest release of the elementaryOS Linux distribution, Freya, and see if it can become my distro of choice for software development. Main reason being that: elementary OS is essentially a Ubuntu (14.04 in this case) based Linux system that just works but wrapped in a really beautiful, smooth and minimalistic interface. All its features make the elementary os usage experience to stand out from all the other Linux distributions I
It took me enough time to find out, that I think I should make a post for anyone else who is after the answer in the future.
In Groovy code:
log.debug("ElasticSearch Query using Java Client API:\n${searchRequestBuilder.internalBuilder()}")
And this in Java:
log.debug("ElasticSearch Query using Java Client API:\n" + searchRequestBuilder.internalBuilder());
The out put is prettified by default.
Since current official documentation only covers unit testing for controllers and that it took me a while to to figure them out completely, I thought I would leave it here in case it helps someone else.
The reason for writing these tests was to validate some REST API endpoints implemented using Grails Controllers.
In theory it should be as simple as:
def index() = {
[data: data as JSON]
}
<r:script>
var data = ${raw(data)};
</r:script>
Unfortunately this does not work, at least when you are using the resources plugin. You know it does not work because all the quotes have
There are still some instances of very nice applications that do not work straight away after installing them via the apt package manager and unfortunately RabbitVCS is one of them.
RabbitVCS is for Linux what TortoiseGit and TortoiseSVN are for the Windows platform. It is a SCM client that integrates itself with the OS file manager to manage local Git or SVN repositories.
Today I wanted to install RabbitVCS (v0.16.0) in Ubuntu 14.04 which has the tool
Since the advent of the IaaS and PaaS providers, the decline in usage of monolithic architectures (e.g.: application server + relational DB) and the need for distributed and automatically scalable applications, as software developers we have to be increasingly more aware and skilled in the tools and techniques used to orchestrate and automate the deployment of all the different components that our architecture might end up with.
Among these tools, normally encompassed in the DevOps space, I am currently very
Recently I had to creat a Groovy script that copies some files from my plugin to the host application. The problem is I did not know how to reference those files inside my plugin.
If you have the same problem here is the solution:
String yourPluginDir = GrailsPluginUtils.pluginInfos.find { it.name == 'your-plugin-name' }.pluginDir
I am writing this post to record all the things I have done in order to migrate an existing Grails 2.2.x app to 2.3.x.
The reasons for me to upgrade are:
