Unable to change the database url using Roo shell

[ahmed.hashim]

when trying to change the database URL using Roo shell, Roo store a wrong database url in database.properties

command

database properties set -key database.url --key jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb

the URL stored in database.properties

database.url=jdbc\:mysql\:

I have to change it manually, I think something wrong in the shell

Ahmed,

The command syntax you have shown above is actually incorrect. Have you typed it completely by hand?

Issuing the command you have shown gives you a proper error:

roo> database properties set -key database.url --key jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb
You must specify option 'value' for this command

There is also a dash missing in front of the first 'key' attribute. So this command should work:

roo> database properties set --key database.url --value jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb
Managed SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/META-INF/spring/database.properties

Tab completion in the shell should help you avoid this in future .

I did not take "copy" from the text, so looks like some typo mistake happen.

Can you make sure that the database.properties changed correctly?

When I open project.roo I found this command

database properties set --key database.url --value jdbc:mysql:

I think the shell command parser is doing something on the comand!
