Grails Engineering Meeting Notes (11 19 2020)

Date: 11/19/2020

Attendees

Released an updated Grails Views
Fixing issues in Grails Core for 4.0.6 alongside updating Spring and Micronaut versions for the Grails 4.1.0
- Made some changes to the Grails Core to exclude transitive dependencies from Micronaut Spring
Going to do a 4.1.0 M3 or RC release later next week
- We are still using Spock M3 and that might be a reason to keep it on a milestone version
- Bobby: I'm not that worried about the Spock M3 but it has been a while since we have released a milestone and that might be a reason to release another milestone
There is an issue with Spring Loader that I want to discuss with David when he is available
- https://github.com/grails/grails-core/issues/11649
James Kleeh will review the GraphQL PR that James Hardwick submitted
- https://github.com/grails/gorm-graphql/pull/56

Haven't had much chance to do any work with the framework
Did a release of Spring Security Core in October (4.0.3) to get around the CVE issue that was reported
Would like to do another release to update to the latest Spring Security

Noticed that the Grails validation workflow in Groovy wasn't functioning any longer due to some GitHub Actions changes in October.
- PR'd a fix for it and noticed that Grails 4.1.0 legitimately fails to build with the latest Groovy 3 snapshot
- Will send Puneet the details

Puneet: Should we have the engineering meeting next week?
Jason: I will not be available. It is scheduled on a holiday in the United States
Bobby: I also will not be available
Puneet: OK, lets cancel it and we'll meet the week after
