Grails 2.4 filters don't seem to be working

I have a Grails 2.4.4 app. In it I have the following controllers:

myapp/
    grails-app/
        controllers/
            fizzbuzz/
                FizzController.groovy
                BuzzController.groovy
                ... many others, etc.

I want to create Grails Filters for some of these, so I create a grails-app/conf/WidgetFilters.groovy class:

class WidgetFilters {
    def filters = {
        fizzFilter(controller: 'fizz*', action: '*') {
            before = {
                println 'I intercepted a called to the Fizz Controller!'  
            }
        }  
        buzzFilter(controller: 'buzz*', action: '*') {
            before = {
                println 'I intercepted a called to the Buzz Controller!'  
            }
        }
    }
}

When I start my app up and go to any Fizz/Buzz actions, I do not see the println. I've also tried other logging statements (SLF4J) and put other code inside the before closure and am 100% convinced they are not executing. Have I done something obviously wrong?

Did you tried to restart app + clean build?

I've copy-pasted your filters and mock controllers and they're working, here is a code.

Please check out also this properties:

  • apf.continueChainBefore SuccessfulAuthentication - whether to continue calling subsequent filters in the filter chain
  • fii.observeOncePerRequest - If false allow checks to happen multiple times, for example when JSP forwards are being used and filter security is desired on each included fragment of the HTTP request

Move the class into grails-app/conf.
