define custom grails environment

Based on this question, I thought I could define something like this in (for example) resources.groovy

def currentEnv = Environment.current
if (currentEnv == Environment.CUSTOM && currentEnv.name == 'mock') {
    println 'Do some stuff for the mock env'
}

The code in the if-statement should be executed when I run (for example) grails run-app -Denv=mock but it isn't, what am I doing wrong?

Note that this may be a problem if you have multiple custom environments defined. I am using Grails 2.4.4. If I have a mytest and myqa environment defined, BOTH will be executed by Grails because both are Environment.CUSTOM, meaning some bean definitions are overwritten or misconfigured!

 grails.util.Environment.executeForCurrentEnvironment {
     development {
         println 'Running in DEV mode.'
     }
     mytest {
         println 'This will be evaluated because it is CUSTOM'
     }
     myqa {
         println 'This will ALSO be evaluated because it is CUSTOM. Yikes!'
     }
 }

I don't know if that's a bug or by design. Anyway, here is what I do and this seems to work properly:

 switch(Environment.current.name) {
     case 'development':
         println 'Running in DEV mode.'
         break

     case 'mytest':
         println 'Running in mytest mode'
         break

     case 'myqa':
         println 'Running in myqa mode'
         break
 }

You must use the method Environment.executeForCurrentEnvironment(), like this:

import grails.util.Environment

     grails.util.Environment.executeForCurrentEnvironment {
         development {
             println 'Running in DEV mode.'
         }
         production {
             println 'Running in production mode.'
         }
         mock {
             println 'Running in custom "mock" mode.'
         }
     }

and call grails this way: grails -Dgrails.env=mock run-app

Take a look at this blogpost, from mrhaki.
