There are two commons-codec JARs included in the catch WAR file.

$ jar -tvf catch.war | grep commons-codec
 46725 Wed Jan 07 23:04:28 EST 2009 WEB-INF/lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar
 73098 Sun Aug 25 14:34:08 EDT 2013 WEB-INF/lib/commons-codec-1.5.jar

[jmiranda]

Found it!!

$ locate commons-codec-1.3 | grep catch
/home/jmiranda/.grails/2.2.1/projects/catch/plugins/functional-test-1.2.7/lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar

[jmiranda]

Changed plugin dependency in afPersistence/grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy from

compile ":functional-test:1.2.7" 

to

test ":functional-test:1.2.7"

There we go. That's something I did not know.
I would have added the exclude for that duplicate library.

Yeah, that's the other option and I may need to go back to that if we reference a class from the functional-test plugin in our test classes (I assume we must). I figured I'd give this a chance to see if it works.

[jmiranda]

i'm done fighting this, so fine.

Sorry, that was meant for a ticket in a different project :)

[jmiranda]

Need to reopen because I'm running into this issue when running test-app. In the unit test, it's referencing a different JAR.

file:/home/jmiranda/.grails/ivy-cache/commons-codec/commons-codec/jars/commons-codec-1.3.jar

[jmiranda]

Ok, this was fixed by adding a global excludes to the BuildConfig.groovy in the AfPersistence plugin.

inherits("global") {
        // uncomment to disable ehcache
        // excludes 'ehcache'
        excludes 'commons-codec'
}

[jmiranda]

It's back.

[jmiranda]

Should be fixed for good as I've updated the functional-test plugin to the latest version (which does not use commons-codec-1.3 any longer).
