If you’re using Grails 2.3.X and you’re developing, most likely you’re running your app like this:
grails run-app #in one command-prompt/shell-terminal and grails stop-app #in another command-prompt/shell-terminal
With the latest version of Grails (version 2.3.5), the stop-app say:
grails stop-app | Server Stopped # But nothing happens and the server-process continues to run#
Here’s an undocumented fix that can come in handy:
# On terminal/command-prompt #1 # Run the way you do today grails run-app # On terminal/command-prompt #2, change-directory (cd) to the root folder where you have your Grails project # Create a file with a file-name ".kill-run-app" # For Linux (*Nix) environments touch .kill-run-app # For Windows where you do not have 'touch' command do the following instead echo hello > .kill-run-app # Wait for a few seconds and Grails will kill the app that's running
Now you can resume with starting a new instance of “grails run-app”.
Cheers & Happy Coding!
