Command 'security setup' was found but is not currently available (type 'help' then E

[gpinkham]

Newly created spring roo project.. has a single controller.. (so web.xml exists).. ran security setup which failed due to a issue with web.xml. I did not save it and tried a few other things so I can't paste the error.. Needless to say I never touched the web.xml.. Only Roo has so not sure why it had an issue with it.. Now when I run security setup it tells me it's not available. but not why! I assume it's because of the previous failure or a missing dependency. Though not sure how I ran it before if I am missing a dependency.. So it must be the previous failure.. how does one get around this? I really don't feel like starting over yet again today due to a Roo stability issue.. The was supposed to be a "see how quick you can create a prototype with Roo" experiment. So far it's a total failure.. :-(

thanks!

Hi Gary,

Sorry to hear you had a bad start with Roo.

It will be hard to find out what went wrong without seeing the actual error. Maybe you create a new sample project and just run this command:

roo> script vote.roo

This will install a complete sample project with security installed and configured. This way you may be able to see what went wrong.

HTH, Stefan

roo> script vote.roo

Stefan, this was very useful.

I ran the vote.roo script as suggested and it did run security setup.

The main difference was the script used separate web mvc scaffold commands and a web mvc controller command whereas the tutorial had web mvc all --package ~.web

For the tutorial, http://static.springsource.org/sprin...beginning.html, don't use web mvc all --package ~.web

Thanks

FYI - here is what a script for Roo 1.1.5

Glad to see I'm not the only one...

I am step 2.10 in http://static.springsource.org/sprin...beginning.html and using STS 2.8.0

Note, the Roo shell will hide the security setup command until you have created a Web layer. As shown above, the security setup command manages the project pom.xml file. This means additional dependencies have been added to the project. To add these dependencies to the STS workspace you should run the perform eclipse command again followed by a project refresh (if you're using STS or m2eclipse, the "perform eclipse" command should be skipped as it will automatically detect and handle the addition of Spring Security to your project).

However, I am pretty certain that I have created the web layer because I have deployed to tomcat successfully.

Is there any reason why the command is not currently available?
