Grid that worked in 1.3 is broken in 1.4 (using Grails 2.3.0)

[tudor-malene]

This is because of a bug in the current version of dynamic-controller plugin, which I used in 1.4 to register those methods.
I notified Burt ( the author of dynamic-controller ) , so it should be resolved soon.

fixed in 1.4.1

Hmm, I just tried 1.4.1 and get this exception when I start my app:

Here are my grid definitions:

static grids = {
    countryGrid {
        dataSourceType 'gorm'
        domainClass Country
        gridImpl 'jqgrid'
        inlineEdit true
        filterForm true
        columns {
            countryCode  {
                editable false

            }
            description
            uiEnabled {
                jqgrid {
                    edittype "'checkbox'"
                }
            }
        }
    }

    callActivityGrid {
        dataSourceType 'gorm'
        domainClass CallActivity
        gridImpl 'jqgrid'
        inlineEdit true
        columns {
            activityTypeCode {
                value {
                    it.activityTypeCode.name()
                }
                jqgrid {
                    edittype "'select'"
                    editoptions """{
                        value: '${Activity.ActivityTypeCode.values().collect({ it.toString() + ":" + it.toString() }).join(";")}',
                        dataInit: function (elem) {
                           alert(elem);
                        },
                        multiple: false
                    }"""
                }
            }

        }
    }

It's because of that "filterForm true" line in 'countryGrid'.
The Builder expect filterForm to be a closure where you define the fields and other parameters.
I should have thrown a better error message there.
If you just remove that line, it will work.

Also, in 1.4.1 , you can define your grids like this:

   def countryGrid = {
        dataSourceType 'gorm'
        domainClass Country
        gridImpl 'jqgrid'
        inlineEdit true
        filterForm true
        columns {
            countryCode  {
                editable false

            }
            description
            uiEnabled {
                jqgrid {
                    edittype "'checkbox'"
                }
            }
        }
    }

But, if you do this, you will have to keep in mind that the name which you'll use to refer the grid will be without the "Grid" suffix ( just 'country' in this case)

Another suggestion would be that it may be preferable to keep the UI properties in the gsp. You can do this by overriding different properties in the tag:
For example:

<grid:grid name='callActivityGrid' columns.activityTypeCode.jqgrid.editoptions =' ......'/>
