Controller not finding domain class

I have been attempting to add some new functionality to an existing grails application. I started by adding a simple domain class through the console:

Code:

---

package com.xfitlog

class ProgramType {
        String name
        String description
               
    static constraints = {
                name( nullable: false, unique: true )
                description( nullable: false )
    }
       
        String toString() {
                "${name}"       
        }
}

---

I then created a simple controller through the console:

Code:

---

package com.xfitlog

class ProgramTypeController {

    static scaffold = ProgramType
}

---

When I execute grails run-app and navigate to the controller page I get this error:

ERROR plugins.DefaultGrailsPlugin - Cannot generate controller logic for scaffolded class class com.xfitlog.ProgramType. It is not a domain class!

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this in an application that is already up and running?

When you say you added a simple domain class "through the console", what do you mean exactly? In other words, what were your exact steps? Were you in interactive mode?

I first created the domain class using the grails create-domain-class command in the windows command prompt. I then opened up the .groovy file that was created and edited it. After that I created the controller through the windows command prompt with grails create-controller. I then opened up the controller file created and edited it.

I've also noticed that the controller does not appear on the Available Controllers list after the project builds. If I make any change to the controller file then save it I will get the following error:

[Thread-610] ERROR plugins.DefaultGrailsPlugin - Cannot generate controller logic for scaffolded class class com.xfitlog.ProgramType. It is not a domain class!

I think that something has gone wrong with the grails files or hibernate, but I'm not sure where to start looking.

What version of Grails? Are you doing any of these steps from an IDE? How are you starting the application?

I'm using version 1.3.7 and I haven't had any problems with it up until I tried to create this new domain class. All of these steps are through the Windows Command Prompt and Notepad++.

Thanks

So you have other domain classes that you can scaffold fine? If so, that would indicate issues with the domain class definition. Perhaps its name. Try a different class name, such as ProgType. If that doesn't work, try adding this line to your logging configuration:

Code:

---

debug  'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.orm.hibernate'

---

You'll have to remove that package from the 'error' or 'warn' line at the same time.

I changed the name of the domain and controller to 'ProgType' and got the same error.

Can you tell me where the logging configuration file is?

grails-app/conf/Config.groovy - you'll find a line starting 'log4j = {' which is where the logging configuration is.

Thanks!

I've got the Config.groovy logging code set and I've restarted the app. The debug spit out a ton of stuff but I don't see anything that mentions 'ProgramType'.

What do I need to look for in the debug log?
