Get config of other environment in Grails 2.*

Question

I'm running Grails 2.1.1, and i'm looking for a way to get the value of variable set in production while i'm running on test environment. The config file :

development {
  config.url = "http://local"
}
test {
  config.url = "http://test.lan"
}
production {
  config.url = "http://prod.lan"
}

The only way i know to get config variables is grailsApplication.config.url

Answer 1

The standard config setup only looks at the current environment. Holders has the same current config as grailsApplication. You have to slurp the config again. Try using ConfigurationHelper. A spock test is below. (Note the sometimes doubled config.config is because the first config is the property (or short name for getConfig() method) and your key contains the second config.)

import grails.test.mixin.TestMixin
import grails.test.mixin.support.GrailsUnitTestMixin
import spock.lang.Specification

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.cfg.ConfigurationHelper

@TestMixin(GrailsUnitTestMixin)
class ConfigSpec extends Specification {

    void "test prod config"() {
        def configSlurper = ConfigurationHelper.getConfigSlurper('production',null)
        def configObject = configSlurper.parse(grailsApplication.classLoader.loadClass(grailsApplication.CONFIG_CLASS))

        expect:
        configObject.config.url == "http://prod.lan"
    }

    void "test dev config"() {
        def configSlurper = ConfigurationHelper.getConfigSlurper('development',null)
        def configObject = configSlurper.parse(grailsApplication.classLoader.loadClass(grailsApplication.CONFIG_CLASS))

        expect:
        configObject.config.url == "http://local"
    }

    void "test grailsApplication config"() {
        expect:
        grailsApplication.config.config.url == "http://test.lan"
    }

    void "test Holders config"() {
        expect:
        grails.util.Holders.config.config.url == "http://test.lan"
    }

}

Check out Holders: https://gist.github.com/mathifonseca/ab443f1502bfd9461943

import grails.util.Holders

class FooService {

     def foo() {

          def devUrl = Holders.config.url

          assert devUrl == "http://local"     
     }

}
