Before setting up, you will need to have the JDK installed. Simply having the JRE is not enough. OpenJDK works well, but there are other options as well.
To set up Groovy, we recommend using the GVM, which allows for easy installation.
curl -s get.gvmtool.net | bash
source "$HOME/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh"
gvm install groovy
Afterwards, you can easily install Grails.
gvm install grails
To set up the database, run the initial setup script provided in the directory.
chmod +x initial-setup.sh
./initial-setup.sh
By default, grails_nV uses the build in H2 database stored on disc. However, the grails-app\conf\DataSource.groovy and initial-setup.sh have commented out settings to switch to MySQL if that's preferable.
To view any mail sent from the application, navigate to http://localhost:8080/grails_nV/greenmail. grails_nV uses the in-memory GreenMail mailserver.
Finally, to actually run the app, simply run
grails run-app
The app should then be accessible at http://localhost:8080/grails_nV/
If your grails prompt shows the following message
Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java and /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/libinstrument.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined
You can safely ignore it. The above is a JVM error unrelated to grails_nV
Database updates use migrations. To update the database, change the domain files and then tell grails to update the migrations.
When the app starts, it will automatically bring the schema up to date.
grails dbm-update
grails dbm-gorm-diff YYYY-MM-DD-added-blah-blah.groovy --add

You can run CodeNarc, a Groovy static analysis tool, on the codebase using the grails command
grails codenarc
It will generate a report, located at target\CodeNarcReport.html, with information about issues detected by the CodeNarc ruleset. If you're interested in customizing the rules run, the selected rulesets are in grails-app\conf\BuildConfig.groovy and custom rules are located in the test\codenarc folder.
