503 error with Functional Test?

[snagiel]

Hello.  I am trying to run a functional test (using the plugin).  Unfortunately, I keep getting 503 (service unavailable) errors when running "grails functional-tests".  (I don't have any other instance of the app running when I execute the tests.)

How do I verify the tests actually start up an app server instance? Should the console give some indication thereof (as it does when running "grails run-app")?

TIA.

It sounds like you have a problem with your "test" environment settings.

First, do:

grails test run-app

Does it run? can you browse to it?

If you can, then add a Thread.sleep(100000000) into one of your  
functional tests, run the tests and while it is sleeping try to  
connect to it.

Hope that helps you find why the app is not starting.
