Plugin breaks g:link tags

[jonspalmer]

For me this plugin mostly doesn't work as it fundamentally breaks g:link tags.

To reproduce

1. create a new grails app.
2. add the gsp-resource plugin in BuildConfig.groovy
3. add a gsp resource to ApplicationResources.groovy (the sample style one is fine)
4. put a g:link tag in the main page of the app (something like: <g:link url="/">Index Link/g:link
5. run the app and navigate to the index page

I get this error:

Caused by MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping.CachingLinkGenerator.link() is applicable for argument types: (org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.taglib.GroovyPageAttributes, groovy.lang.ExpandoMetaClass$ExpandoMetaProperty) values: [[uri:/index, params:[execution:groovy.lang.ExpandoMetaClass$ExpandoMetaProperty@44822268]], ...]

From digging through the stack trace it looks like something about rendering the gsp resources has the effect of converting the request object to an ExpandoMetaClass and hence the missingMethodException.

I'm using ${resource(dir:'images/', file: 'favicon.ico')} to load images and ran into the same issue once I added this code.

Yip, same issue here

+1 (using g:formRemote, grails 2.0.1 and resources-1.1.6)

I've developed a fix for this - been trying to get hold of Stefan by email, but no response yet.

why not just submit the pull request?

Hi - Stefan's happy to pass over ownership of the plugin to me, as he's moved onto other projects. I've forked the repo and uploaded the new code - now just waiting to get my grails account setup so I can publish it. Hopefully shouldn't take too long.
