Grails Functional Testing - grailsApplication.config is null within controllers and services

Question

Grails 1.3.5

I\'ve written a handful of functional tests and I\'m running into issues when my controllers and services reference configuration data via grailsApplica

Answer 1

You need to construct the grails app -- as it is not injected by default.

youService.grailsApplication = new org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.DefaultGrailsApplication()

"DefaultGrailsApplication" by it's default configuration will look for Config as the config class.

Answer 2

This is the hack that I have done for a while, there might be a better way though

def filePath = new File('grails-app/conf/Config.groovy').toURL()
def config = new ConfigSlurper(System.properties.get('grails.env')).parse(filePath)
ConfigurationHolder.config = config
