Grails 3.0 adding an inline plugin

Question

I created simple grails 3.0 applications using commands below:

1. create-app admin --profile=web
2. create-plugin core --profile=plugin

Now, I wanted to use core as an inline plugin in admin build, which is a web application.

We can easily do that in grails version < 3.0 in buildconfig. Where can I do that in grails 3.0. Every help is worth appreciated.

Answer 1

Inplace plugins have been replaced by multi project Gradle builds. See the Grails 3 functional test suite for an example https://github.com/grails/grails3-functional-tests

Answer 2

Recently I used an inline plugin in my grails 3 application. here is how I did it-

1. Make sure that your application and your plugin are on same parent directory.
2. Now go to build.gradle file of your application.
3. Add this line in dependencies:
   compile project(':plugin_name')
4. Now go to settings.gradle file on your application and append these lines:
   include 'plugin_name'
project(':plugin_name').projectDir = new File('absolute_path_of_pluin')
