Changing default server port in grails 3.0.9 in development

Question

How do we change the default port 8080 to something else in Grails 3.0.9?

For some reasons passing it through args was not working in my environment. Probably I will rephrase my question as an alternative to passing args. Thanks! — kgthegreat, Nov 17 '15 at 05:56

Through command line

This answer has a way which works

grails run-app --port=8090

Also, while stopping

grails stop-app --port=8090

The following may or may not work depending on grails version

grails run-app -Dserver.port=8090

Through configuration

Say to change it to 8090, add the following snippet to grails-app/conf/application.yml

server:
     port: 8090

under

environments:
     development:

so that it looks like

environments:
     development:
           server:
                port: 8090

For most cases putting it under `environments.development` is fine but not necessary. – Jeff Scott Brown Nov 13 '15 at 14:17
