Command Line Usage
Grails incorporates the powerful build system
Gant, which is a Groovy wrapper around
Apache Ant.
The basic usage scenario is:
grails [environment]* [command name]
Grails searches in the following directories for Gant scripts to execute:
USER_HOME/.grails/scripts
PROJECT_HOME/scripts
PROJECT_HOME/plugins/*/scripts
GRAILS_HOME/scripts
If multiple matches are found Grails will give you a choice of which one to execute.
You can specify the environment that the command executes in with an optional environment parameter, either with one of the built-in environment names:
grails dev run-app
grails test run-app
grails prod run-app
Or using a -D argument if the name is not one of the three standard names:
grails -Dgrails.env=uat run-app
