Thanks for the ZSH autocomplete code! It helps a lot, because running “grails help” always takes around three seconds to load.

Great script Ted!

I added your script, slightly modified so it works under Linux, to an Ubuntu deb package of Grails. See the 1.0.2 Grails package:

Nice catch Sigi! I had tested a blank project in the zsh version without issues, but forgot to test it in the bash one. That bug also caused output to stderr if there’s a plugins directory but nothing in it. I’ve applied your fix to the code above for both situations.

Great idea! The only thing to mention is that it prints out “ls: ./scripts/*.groovy: No such file or directory” if you don’t have custom scripts in your grails app.

To work around that, you have to redirect the stderr to /dev/null like that:

ls -1 $D/*.groovy 2>/dev/null

Cheers, sigi
