Chapter 3 listing 3.3 Saving and retrieving a domain object for the database

[mlhart58]

Listing is as follows: Listing 3.3 Saving and retrieving a domain object from the database package com.grailsinaction import spock.lang.* import grails.plugin.spock.* class UserIntegrationSpec extends IntegrationSpec { #1 def "Saving our first user to the database"() { given: "A brand new user" def joe = new User(loginId: 'joe', password: 'secret', homepage: 'http://www.grailsinaction.com') when: "the user is saved" joe.save() #2 then: "it saved successfully and can be found in the database" joe.errors.errorCount == 0 #3 joe.id != null #4 User.get(joe.id).userId == joe.userId #5 } }

Last line should be: User.get(joe.id).loginId == joe.loginId #5

test-app output before and after the above correction:

You made the same mistake in listing 3.14 as well. Using "userId:" instead of "loginId:"

Yes, there are still several references to 'userId' in the MEAP. I have updated the manuscripts for chapters 3 & 6. Chapter 11 is already fixed, but that's not managed to get into the MEAP yet.

Thanks for the report.
