Description
Original Reporter: tim_yates
Environment: Not Specified
Version: 2.3
Migrated From: http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-10562
If you add {{mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.24}} as a runtime dependency, you cannot gain access to {{com.mysql.jdbc.Driver}} from within the Bootstrap
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new grails project
- Uncomment the line {{runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.24'}} in {{Build.groovy}}
- Add {{Class.forName( 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver' )}} to the {{init}} Closure in {{BootStrap.groovy}}
- {{grails run-app}}
It crashes with:
