Forge vs Profile dependencies for plugin and web-plugin

Open jamesfredley opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Issue description

Significant difference exist between plugins and web-plugins generated from forge and profiles. We need to decide which dependencies should be included.

After plugin and web-plugin are finalized, we will add rest-api-plugin to forge: https://github.com/apache/grails-core/issues/14932

plugin profile

Suggested dependencies

plugin

compileOnly "org.apache.grails:grails-dependencies-starter-web"
console "org.apache.grails:grails-console"
developmentOnly "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools"
implementation platform("org.apache.grails:grails-bom:$grailsVersion")
profile "org.apache.grails.profiles:plugin"
testImplementation "org.apache.grails:grails-dependencies-test"

web-plugin

testAndDevelopmentOnly "org.apache.grails:grails-dependencies-assets"

rest-api-plugin

compileOnly "org.apache.grails:grails-data-mongodb-gson-templates"
compileOnly "org.apache.grails:grails-dependencies-starter-web"
compileOnly "org.apache.grails:grails-views-gson"

testImplementation "io.micronaut:micronaut-http-client:4.6.5"
testImplementation "org.apache.grails:grails-testing-support-views-gson"

Some open to debate for web and rest-api plugins

implementation "org.apache.grails:grails-data-hibernate5"
runtimeOnly "com.h2database:h2"
runtimeOnly "com.zaxxer:HikariCP"
runtimeOnly "org.fusesource.jansi:jansi"

need for additional grails-dependencies-* starters
grails-dependencies-plugin-starter - bare min for plugin
grails-dependencies-rest-api-starter - grails-dependencies-web-starter + rest dependencies
implementation platform(“”) is nice because it applies to all default Gradle configurations, but has the downside of being added to the module json, but not the maven POM
