Command Line Usage
Grails incorporates the powerful build system
Gant, which is a Groovy wrapper around
Apache Ant.
bootstrapThe basic usage scenario is:
grails [environment]* [command name]
Grails will search for Gant scripts that match the given name in the following locations:
- USER_HOME/.grails/scripts
- PROJECT_HOME/scripts
- PROJECT_HOME/plugins/*/scripts
- GRAILS_HOME/scripts
If Grails discovers multiple commands matching the name entered it will offer you a choice as to which one to execute.
To specify an alternative environment to execute a particular command within you can specify an optional environment parameter either with one of the built in environments:
grails dev run-app
grails prod run-app
Or using an argument
grails -Dgrails.env=uat run-app
Refer to the user guide section on
The Command Line for more information.
