[zyro23]

Task List

• [x] Steps to reproduce provided
• [x] Stacktrace (if present) provided
• [x] Example that reproduces the problem uploaded to Github
• [x] Full description of the issue provided (see below)

Steps to Reproduce

1. run sample app
2. see stacktrace

Expected Behaviour

defining controllerAnnotations.staticRules in application.yml should work as it used to prior to grails-4, e.g.:

grails:
    plugin:
        springsecurity:
            controllerAnnotations:
                staticRules:
                    - {pattern: /**, access: [permitAll]}

Actual Behaviour

notes

i suspect this change to be related: https://github.com/grails/grails-core/commit/8f1ae343e4bc1436e3d2d5ccbe6b9514504ee494#diff-d8511d4d59e9d2d78d0e3c3f0ac63194

if i understand that right, it now returns a NavigableMap$NullSafeNavigator instead of just null for config.foo.bar.myKeyThatDoesNotExist.
i do not know why that change was made but i would say this could very well be a grails-core issue rather than a spring-security-core one as i still expect to get null in that case - everything else is unexpected and error-prone, imho.
if you agree from a spring-security-core point of view, this issue can be "moved" to grails-core, i guess.

Environment Information

• Operating System: win x64
• GORM Version: 7.0.0
• Grails Version (if using Grails): 4.0.0.RC1
• JDK Version: oracle 8u131

Example Application

sample app will be referenced asap

I'm not sure that diff you referenced related, since the "before" half of the diff would still disallow null due to groovy truth. But I do think you're on the right track. It should return null.

[drennane]

I assume they work ok when done in application.groovy?

[joemccall86]

@drennane I just checked in a sandbox application, and that is correct. Specifying the rules in application.groovy work as expected. Specifying them in application.yml causes the error.
