GSP Debugging tip – showSource

There are times when we have an !!Exception!! which looks like

[code]

grails_app_views_non_crashable_page_gsp:29

[/code]

seems like our non crashable page just crashed, and looking at line 29 in our gsp is of no avail, and we just end up thinking maybe x or maybe y messed up.

The trick is simple, simply in your URL , add the following :

[code]

http://myBulletProofServer:8080/xx/XXx/nonCrashablePage?showSource=true

[/code]

and this will give you the compiled groovy code for the gsp. There you can point out to line #29 and shout “Gotcha!”
