Create Grails 3 WAR without version number

Question

In Grails 2 we could define WAR filename like this:

grails.project.war.file = "target/${appName}.war"

How can I override the war filename in Grails 3?

Thanks Jeff.

I have added line like thisin build.gradle:

war {
    archiveName "${war.baseName}.war"
    }

The value of course can be dynamic: `war.archiveName="${war.baseName}.war"` too. – Jeff Scott Brown Nov 10 '15 at 04:24
It's worth noting that the setting of this property has to be done **AFTER** the war plugin is applied – GeoGriffin May 12 '17 at 13:54
Correct. You can't access anything provided by a plugin until the plugin has been applied. – Jeff Scott Brown May 12 '17 at 20:38

Can't get this to work in grails 4. The gradle docs also say archiveName is being deprecated so I tried archiveFileName as well. Still didn't work. – user2782001 Dec 13 '19 at 17:08

A more detailed answer: Add this to wrapper task in build.gradle so it creates different war file name based on each environment.

war.archiveName="${war.baseName}_${grails.util.Environment.current.name}.war"

Then create war file like this.

grails -Dgrails.env=staging war

"Add this to wrapper task in build.gradle..." - What does the wrapper task have to do with this? – Jeff Scott Brown May 13 '16 at 15:35
