If you use IntelliJ IDEA for your Grails development you might encounter this error running integration tests:

Error Error generating web.xml file (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)

The reason for this is that IDEA adds classpath by default on creating integration test run configuration. Unfortunately, sometimes it causes strange errors like this one. Follow these steps to resolve:

  1. Open Run → Edit Configurations… (or press Alt-Shift-F10)
  2. Select your configuration that fails
  3. Uncheck Add –classpath checkbox
  4. You are done! Run.

Devoxx 2012 review


I'm sitting in a train to Charleroi, looking through a window at the Denmark landscape, street lights flashing by, people comming home from work, getting out for a Friday night party, or having a family dinner. To my left, guys from SoftwareMill are playing cards.
I don't really see them. My mind is busy elsewhere, sorting out and processing last two days in Antwerp, where 3400 developers, from 41 different countries, listened to 200 different sessions at the Devoxx, AFAIK the biggest Java conference this year.
