Resources doesn't play nicely with jquery plugin configs about grails-resources HOT 2 OPEN

I was trying to use resources plugin with the latest version of JQuery.

On the plain JQuery plugin I could do that:

jquery {
sources = 'jquery' // Holds the value where to store jQuery-js files /web-app/js/
version = '1.6.4' // The jQuery version in use
}

And the JQuery tag would know how to find that in my own /js/jquery/ directory.
<g:javascript library="jquery" />

I don't want to update the plugin jquery version on the plugin directory, but the resources plugin can't find the .js on my dir. It keeps giving me this exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Module [jquery] depends on resource [/plugins/jquery-1.6.1.1/js/jquery/jquery-1.6.4.min.js] but the file cannot be found

Hi Filipe,

Just override the "jquery" resource module using the "overrides" mechanism and point it at your new jquery version.

This is what the module declaration looks like in jQuery plugin:

// Resource declarations for Resources plugin
def jqver = org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.jquery.JQueryConfig.SHIPPED_VERSION

modules = {
'jquery' {
resource id:'js', url:[plugin: 'jquery', dir:'js/jquery', file:"jquery-${jqver}.min.js"],
disposition:'head', nominify: true
}

'jquery-dev' {
    resource id:'js', url:[plugin: 'jquery', dir:'js/jquery', file:"jquery-${jqver}.js"], 
        disposition:'head'
}

}

... so you just add your own AppResources.groovy or whatever you want to call it and add:

modules = {
overrides {
'jquery' {
resource id:'js', url:[dir:'js/jquery', file:"jquery-1.6.4.min.js"]
}
}
}

This will amend the module to point at your own file.

Make sense?

Thanks
Marc

Great,

It works, but it is not documented anywhere on the docs. Also, would be nice to have a convention. Look for the app version and then for the plugin version? Not sure it is easy to implement. Maybe with some exception fallback or some config instead of a convention.

By the way, thanks for the answer.
