spring-security-ui on 2.0.0.RC3 transitive-metadata warning and webxml error

[roos]

While testing 2.0.0.RC3, I'm not able to install and use spring-security-ui plugin.
During installation into a fresh grails-2.0.0.RC3 project, I receive:

grails install-plugin spring-security-ui
| Resolving plugin JAR dependencies
| Warning 
            Plugin declares a runtime dependency on plugin [mail: 0.9 > *] but does not define the plugin within its transitive metadata. Contact the plugin author to fix this problem or declare the plugin yourself inside BuildConfig.groovy. Example:
            ...
            plugins {
               compile ":mail:0.9 > *"
            }

            ...
            plugins {

            }

            ...
            plugins {
               compile ":famfamfam:1.0 > *"
            }
| Plugin installed.

Afterwards on run-app I receive:

grails run-app
| Resolving plugin JAR dependencies...
> You currently already have a version of the plugin installed [webxml-1.4]. Do you want to update to [webxml-1.3.1]? [y,n] y

Another try of running:

grails run-app
| Packaging Grails application
> You currently already have a version of the plugin installed [webxml-1.3.1]. Do you want to update to [webxml-1.4]? [y,n] y

So it seems like a dependency collision on webxml, also.

Any idea how to fix this?

[pledbrook]

In your BuildConfig.groovy, use:

plugins {
    runtime ":resources:1.1.3", {
        excludes "webxml"
    }
}

We're looking into this issue and will have it fixed by the final release of Grails 2.

[pledbrook]

Actually, we're struggling to reproduce this, even though one committer has encountered it. What exactly do you do after installing the Spring Security UI plugin and receive those warnings/errors? Do you just execute

grails run-app

straight away?

[roos]

Thanks for the quick reply.

I added the workaround as mentioned and installed spring-security-core into the project without an issue.

But the spring-security-ui plugin still complains:

| Plugin installed.

Well, the warnings occur during installation of spring-security-ui and the errors during "grails run-app".

I'm on OSX Lion 10.7.2, Java 1.6.0_29.

Installing on shell, not in STS.

[pledbrook]

The Spring Security UI plugin needs updating. Those warning messages explain how to get your application working, i.e. by explicitly declaring the dependencies in your application.

Thanks for the extra info. We have managed to reproduce the problem and it seems it's already been fixed in Grails HEAD. Still doing some verification, but it will be working for the 2.0 final release.

[roos]

Managed to get it working by explicitly installing the 3 plugins manually.

One additional question:
When installing spring-security-ui, spring-security-core is not installed as a dependent plugin, here.
Shouldn't it be installed automatically?

[Admir]

Hi all,

I am trying to get the spring-security-ui plugin working with grails 2.0. I installed the required plugins manually but when I try to run the app famfamfam, mail and spring-security-ui plugins get uninstalled.

Is anybody else having the same problem?

I'm starting to test spring-security-ui and I've got the following error.
