Why is GORM not saving my object?

Question

If I execute this code in the Grails console:

def p = new Post(title: \"T\");
p.save(flush: true); // or p.save();

Post.count();

GORM is not t

Answer 1

Likely some constraint on Post is being violated and thus the object is not being saved. Note that the default behavior of GORM is not to throw on a failed save. You need to either call it like

p.save(flush: true, failOnError: true);

Or change the behavior globally by adding

grails.gorm.failOnError=true

to your Config.groovy
