The session store defined in the SecurityFilter is `session.username`, but in the controller they reference `session.user` resulting in an endless loop of attempted logins as the filter will never be fulfilled.

When you merge the Venue and City together to form the Location, you never remove the Venue li block.

Figure 27 is wrong. It shows the Name

I have the kindle book so 3054 is a location not a page.
Passim in Chapter 7 re Forum.
I have GGTS 3.5.0, Groovy 2.2
Maybe this is a version thing, but it seems that in a lot of places where you refer to tekmessage’s “index”, you really mean “list”.
For instance, shouldn’t
def index(Integer max)…
be
def list(Index max)…?
Also, I don’t have …tekMessage/index.gsp, but I do have a
tekMessage/list.gsp.

I could not get the Searchable plugin to work until I added the line for the mavenRepo to the repositories section BuildConfig.groovy as described in the Installation instructions of the plugin documentation. Fortunately, you had a link to the Searchable plugin documentation page so it was a relatively easy fix. I’m using the Kindle version, so the location is 4588 of 5588.

things.2/TekDays/grails-app/views/task/show.gsp

with this condition
We never see: “Completed No”

Read from SafariBooks Online so pages were irrelevant. Chapter: 7, Section: Of Templates and Ajax

The second section of code related to “forum.2/TekDays/grails-app/views/tekMessage/ajaxIndex.gsp”, specifically the “Message Details” h3 heading.

Currently:

Message Details

Should be?:

Message Details

This will make the formatting compatible with main.css file reference after this section. Otherwise the Message Details heading on the page never is indented as displayed in Figure 34.

Read from SafariBooks Online so pages were irrelevant.

Using Grails 2.4.4, the main.css path was not found were stated.

First line of Appendix 1, Additional CSS Rules, has a path that refers to “TekDays/web-app/css/main.css”. I believe this path is supposed to to the assets’s area stylesheet.

That main.css file you should append to is
TekDays/grails-app/assets/stylesheets/main.css

Read on SafariBooks Online, so no page number. Chapter: 6, Section: Integration Testing.

In grails 2.4.4 could not get the example TaskServiceSpec integration test to complete. I believe the way to do this under this version of grails is the following code. After a little research, it appears the following is nearly equivalent to the originally provided example.

package com.tekdays

import grails.test.spock.IntegrationSpec

class TaskServiceIntegrationSpec extends IntegrationSpec {
\tdef taskService
void “test addDefaultTasks”() {
\t\tgiven: ‘task service’
\t\t\tnew TekUser(fullName: ‘Tammy Tester’, userName:‘tester’ , email: ‘tester@test.com’, website:‘test.com’, bio: ‘A test person’).save()

\t\t\twhen: “we pass an event to taskService.addDefaultTasks”
\t\t\tdef e = new TekEvent(name: ‘Test Event’,
\t\t\t\tcity: ‘TestCity, USA’,
\t\t\t\tdescription: ‘Test Description’,
\t\t\t\torganizer:TekUser.findByUserName(‘tester’),
\t\t\t\tvenue:‘TestCenter’,
\t\t\t\tstartDate:new Date(),
\t\t\t\tendDate: new Date() + 1 )
\t\t\ttaskService.addDefaultTasks(e)

\t\tthen: “the event will have 6 default tasks”
\t\t\te.tasks.size() == 6
}
}

Chapter 9, Section “Adding the Dashboard Action”

The DashboardController.groovy code is missing a an open bracket for the Map being used to find Tasks, in both the page view and the link to the code.

Currently: def tasks = Task.findAllByEventAndCompleted(event, false, max:3, sort:‘dueDate’, order: ‘asc’])

Should be: def tasks = Task.findAllByEventAndCompleted(event, false, [max:3, sort:‘dueDate’, order: ‘asc’])

Chapter 10, Section “Search Using Dynamic Finder”, last paragraph before image. “In the followinbg figure,” should read “In the following figure,”.

$grails test-app unit: TekEvent

is incorrect for Grails 3.0.7

instead use:

$grails test-app TekEvent

I was unable to get the SecurityFilter to work with “return false” as the last statement in the before filter in Grails 2.3.8. With that statement in place, when I hit the filter and that code was executed, the site would return no content. Upon changing to “return true” the site began to render as expected.
