Accessing properties of externalized config file

[skadiy000]

I am trying to access the properties that are in an externalized config file, from my integration service tests file and did not succeed.

I have tried...

def propValue = grailsApplication.config.setting

and

def myData = ConfigurationHolder.config.setting


No success.

Appreciate help.

Thanks

have you added the external files in the Config.groovy?

Below the example code i have in mine Confiog.groovy,

grails.config.locations = ["file:pathToYourFile"]

I use external config file when i'm in production environment and worked always in this manner.

And in classes:
def configHolder = ConfigurationHolder.config
then you can use configHolder object :
configHolder.maxAttemptLogin to access the property maxAttemptLogin and so on.

Hope this help.

Yes. I am able to read all props well from a Controller. The Controller actions are able to read the props. No problem there.

I am getting problem only to read props, in the Tests written for Controller and service.

Thanks

In unit tests you'll need to mock the config required in your code.

setUp(){
        ConfigurationHolder.config = ["defaultContactNumber": '123456789']
}
testSomething(){
        assertEquals '123456789', ConfigurationHolder.config.defaultContactNumber
}

Or you can move your tests to the integration context.

I am running tests from Integration only. Not using unit as the service and controller references are spring injected.

Did not work for me even from Integration tests.
