Griffon' command line system is built on Gant - a simple Groovy wrapper around Apache Ant.However, Griffon takes it a bit further through the use of convention and the griffon
command. When you type:
Griffon does a search in the following directories for Gant scripts to execute:
USER_HOME/.griffon/scripts
PROJECT_HOME/scripts
PROJECT_HOME/plugins/*/scripts
GRIFFON_HOME/scripts
Griffon will also convert command names that are in lower case form such as run-app into camel case. So typingResults in a search for the following files:
USER_HOME/.griffon/scripts/RunApp.groovy
PROJECT_HOME/scripts/RunApp.groovy
PLUGINS_HOME/*/scripts/RunApp.groovy
GRIFFON_HOME/scripts/RunApp.groovy
If multiple matches are found Griffon will give you a choice of which one to execute. When Griffon executes a Gant script, it invokes the "default" target defined in that script. If there is no default, Griffon will quit with an error.To get a list and some help about the available commands type:Which outputs usage instructions and the list of commands Griffon is aware of:
Usage (optionals marked with *):
griffon [environment]* [target] [arguments]*Examples:
griffon dev run-app
griffon create-app booksAvailable Targets (type griffon help 'target-name' for more info):
griffon clean

...
The command interpreter is able to expand abbreviations following a camel case convention.Examples:
griffon tA // expands to test-app
griffon cAd // expands to create-addon
griffon cIT // expands to create-integration-test
