How do you define the Grails 3 app name so that it's part of the url?

[virtual dogbert]

So from the documentation I see "The application name and version is now defined in build.gradle" but my question is where in the build.gradle should I define the application name, and what's the syntax of that.  The reason I want this is so that the URL will have that app name, which will be the same as the war name, so that I have the same url structure running locally, as I do running as a war.

for example my say my app name is groovyduke, when I run my app the url should be

localhost:8080/groovyduke/...

regardless of if I'm running in intellij or running as a war

I was looking at this built script[1] just as you asked the question. Is this what you were looking for?

No that's just the version and it has no effect on the url, what I'm asking about is the application name which was in application.properties, and in the documentation it was said to be moved to build.gradle, but it didn't say where or the syntax to defining it.

That link was highlighting the wrong line - if you look at line 20, you see the groupId.

Providing a link like that is problematic because the link won’t be valid over time as the file changes. Often better idea is to provide a link to the line of a specific version of the file. GitHub makes that really easy to do. When you load a page like https://github.com/grails/grails3-functional-tests/blob/master/app1/build.gradle in the browser press the “y” key on your keyboard which will take you to the latest version of the file. Then when you create a link to a line number like https://github.com/grails/grails3-functional-tests/blob/651622026d6b9b8f392334a324dea92508fbb157/app1/build.gradle#L20, even if the file changes after that, your link is still good and points to the right place.

you're right - thanks, Jeff!

The group doesn't seem to have any effect on the url. But setting server.'context-path' = '/groovyduke' in my application.groovy , like Naresha suggested worked.
