Development environment configuration file application-development.groovy not documented

[snider32]

Expected Behavior

I expected application.groovy to be adequate for a development environment build, with environment blocks withing that file to distinguish code intended specifically for a build.

Actual Behaviour

It turns out that application.groovy is ignored for a development environment build, and an application-development.groovy file is required instead. I was not able to find any documentation about this - certainly not in the Spring Security Core Plugin - Reference Documentation. I've spent an awful lot of time chasing what was going on.

Steps To Reproduce

Using a gradle.properties file with org.gradle.jvmargs=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx1024M -Dgrails.env=dev

Environment Information

MacOS 12.7.4
grailsVersion=5.3.6
groovyVersion=3.0.11
org.grails.plugins:spring-security-core:5.3.0
jdk-17.jdk
IntelliJ IDEA 2023.2.6 (Ultimate Edition)

Example Application

No response

Version

Hi @snider32, can you double-check that you have spelled everything correct in your application.groovy file?
It works fine for me to use the environments block in application.groovy.

// grails-app/conf/application.groovy
environments {
    development {
        my.message = 'Hello, Development!'
    }
    production {
        my.message = 'Hello, Production!'
    }
}

// grails-app/init/g533app/Bootstrap.groovy
package g533app

import grails.core.GrailsApplication

class BootStrap {

    GrailsApplication grailsApplication

    def init = { servletContext ->
        println grailsApplication.config.getProperty('my.message', String, 'No message found!')
    }
}

Hi matrei, Thanks for giving it a look. Maybe a different pair of eyes will see something I don't. Here's my last iteration of application.groovy before successfully using application-development.groovy (with my comments stripped):

grails.plugin.springsecurity.roleHierarchy = '''

ROLE_MPSTRUC_EDIT > ROLE_PROTO_MPSTRUC_ADMIN

grails.plugin.springsecurity.userLookup.authorityJoinClassName = 'blancousers2.BlancoUserBlancoRole'
grails.plugin.springsecurity.authority.className = 'blancousers2.BlancoRole'

grails.plugin.springsecurity.rejectIfNoRule = true

grails.plugin.springsecurity.registerLoggerListener = true

environments {

grails.plugin.springsecurity.useSecurityEventListener = true
grails.plugin.springsecurity.dao.hideUserNotFoundExceptions = false

	grails.plugin.springsecurity.onAuthorizationEvent = { e, appCtx ->

	grails.plugin.springsecurity.onAbstractAuthenticationFailureEvent = { e, appCtx ->

	}

	grails.plugin.springsecurity.onAuthenticationSuccessEvent = { e, appCtx ->

	}
}
test {
	grails.plugin.springsecurity.dao.hideUserNotFoundExceptions = false
}
production {
	grails.plugin.springsecurity.dao.hideUserNotFoundExceptions = true
}

}

grails.plugin.springsecurity.onAuthorizationEvent = { e, appCtx ->
println("***** In application.groovy, grails.plugin.springsecurity.onAuthorizationEvent(), e: " + e)
}

I am not completely sure but can you please try moving the following before the environments block:

grails.plugin.springsecurity.onAuthorizationEvent = { e, appCtx ->
    println("***** In application.groovy, grails.plugin.springsecurity.onAuthorizationEvent(), e: " + e)
}

Also, how are you sure that the configurations from application.groovy files are not loaded correctly.
