Search for the Holy Grail (and test it once found)

Grails is awesome! agreed? Good!

Now, search and testing facilities have become such a basic commodity in applications that it's almost taken for granted.

But as a Grails developer you face limitations and concerns: is the library well maintained? Does it fit the framework's paradigm?

After nominating the winners, we’ll show you the advantages of our tools of choice and take a deep dive into the juicy details.

This talk will provide short overviews and comparisons in the search for 2 pieces of the holy grail - good search and testing facilities.

78. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Good one!
79. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Good one! Event driven indexes Nope :(
80. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Good one! Event driven indexes Nope :( Grail s integration You must be kidding
81. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Good one! Event driven indexes Nope :( Grail s integration You must be kidding Embedding Native in JVM?
83. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Good one! Event driven indexes Nope :( Grail s integration You must be kidding Embedding Native in JVM? How about “no”.

88. Requirement How is it?
89. Requirement How is it? Grail s Integration
91. Requirement How is it? Grail s Integration Good one! Event driven index
93. Requirement How is it? Grail s Integration Good one! Event driven index Good one! (not sure about mongo) Embedding This is how it works
94. static searchable = true
95. static searchable = { except = ['field1'] field2 boost: 2.0 }
98. def result = Domain.search('query')
99. def result = searchableService.search('query')
100. Requirement How is it? Grail s Integration Good one! Event driven index Good one! (not sure about mongo) Embedding This is how it works Standalone server Nope :(
103. Requirement How is it?
104. Requirement How is it? Standalone server
106. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Hell, yeah!
107. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Hell, yeah! Embedded mode
110. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Hell, yeah! Embedded mode blocked
111. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Hell, yeah! Embedded mode blocked Event driven index Yes, but fal se by default?!
112. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Hell, yeah! Embedded mode blocked Event driven index Yes, but fal se by default?! Grail s integration
118. grails start-solr & grails stop-solr
119. static enableSolrSearch = true
120. static solrAutoIndex = true
121. def result = Domain.searchSolr('query')
122. def result = solrService.search('query')
123. ...there’s more...
124. -GASP-
126. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Hell, yeah! Embedded mode blocked Event driven index Yes, but fal se by default?! Grail s integration Fail in so many ways
129. Requirement How is it?
130. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Why, sure! Embedded mode
131. elasticSearch { client.mode = 'local' }
132. elasticSearch { client.mode = 'transport' }
133. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Why, sure! Embedded mode One flag change
134. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Why, sure! Embedded mode One flag change Grail s integration
135. static searchable = true static searchable = { … } Looks familiar?
141. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Why, sure! Embedded mode One flag change Grail s integration Noam’s plugin
142. Requirement How is it? Standalone server Why, sure! Embedded mode One flag change Grail s integration Noam’s fork Event driven index Noam’s fork
144. Show me the code!
