Try Out the Fix

[Robert Fischer]

I've fixed bugs that have the following symptom:
* Directories like .scripts and .svn are attempted to be run
* Autobase does not execute in create-drop mode

The following behavior was also sneakily added and released:
* Autobase *does* execute in create-drop mode, and you'd rather it not

To not run Autobase in create-drop mode, set the following property in Config.groovy:
autobase.runOnCreateDrop = false

Try out the fixes and let me know what you think.

How do you go from a URL to a File on your Y: drive a Windows box?

Yeah, I can start by apologizing for sitting on a windows machine. I'm still dependant on a bunch of weird software (read screwed up client vpn bridge etc) which refuses to run on any *nix platform.  

After looking into this a bit it seems that going from a URL to File is not exactly clean in java. It seems the problem on Windows is that the fileopener sends out a URL with "file://xxx" instead of "file:///xxx". The easiest way to get around this is probably apache commons: 

FileUtils.toFile(url) : URL -> File

Attaching a zip with a simple java program which tries to use the URL that I (think) autobase is breaking on on windows and a log of how the output looks when I run the program. I ran this with the apache commons io version that ships with grails 1.1. 

Best, 

Matias

Care to submit a patch? Easiest way would be via pull request on GitHub.

Keep in mind that you can't assume the URL is a file in Liquibase-DSL -- for one thing, I've
experimented with classpath:// URLs for extracting migrations when running WARred under Autobase.
For another, there are people using http:// URLs for some migrations.
