This Neo4j chain branches off the core GormRegistry O(M+N) scaling stack's head (#15779 → #15780 → #15790) — it depends on that stack but is its own separate sequence, not additional steps within it.

Summary

Baseline migration (PR1 of the Neo4j GormRegistry migration plan): bumps grails-data-neo4j's dependency stack to match root-repo (Groovy 4.0.32, Jakarta EE 10, GORM 8.0.0-SNAPSHOT, Spring Boot 4.1), with no GormRegistry behavioral change. The module previously didn't compile against these versions at all; it now compiles and its test suite runs (181/215 passing, 34 explicitly @PendingFeature with documented reasons, 0 unaccounted failures).

Build/dependency fixes: force Jetty to 9.4.43 and neo4j-java-driver to 4.4.13 on the test classpath (Spring Boot 4.1's BOM silently upgrades both to binary-incompatible major versions); add --add-opens for java.lang/sun.nio.ch (embedded Neo4j 3.5.x reflects into JDK internals); replace dead javax.el/el-impl with jakarta.el/expressly; add geantyref/byte-buddy (needed by Spock's Mock() at runtime, not declared by spock-core).
Two real, previously-latent bugs fixed in Neo4j's own source: GraphClassMapping#getMappedForm() infinite recursion under Groovy 4's changed property-resolution precedence; Neo4jQuery#applyOrderAndLimits() null-unsafe offset/max checks that crashed most unpaginated queries (this alone was blocking the majority of the suite). Also fixed GormStaticApi#saveAll()'s shared bug (returns null instead of persisted ids) via a Neo4j-side override, and added GraphGormMappingFactory#createDefaultIdentityMapping() so named/custom id generators (e.g. "snowflake") don't throw.
TCK migration: introduces GrailsDataNeo4jTckManager + Neo4jGormDatastoreSpec, migrating all 37 spec files off the old adapter-specific GormDatastoreSpec onto the shared grails-datamapping-tck framework, matching Hibernate5/7 and MongoDB's pattern.

The remaining 34 pending tests are annotated with the exact reason each is blocked - the majority (~19) on Neo4jGormApiFactory not yet being registered with GormRegistry (PR3 scope), plus a handful of narrower, individually-documented gaps not yet root-caused.

Test plan

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal -PskipTests from repo root, then cd grails-data-neo4j && ./gradlew build - compiles clean

Pull request overview

Migrates the grails-data-neo4j sub-build onto the Grails 8 / GORM 8 / Groovy 4 / Jakarta EE 10 baseline so it compiles and (mostly) runs its test suite within the main grails-core repo, while also modernizing its TCK integration to match other datastore adapters.

Changes:

Update grails-data-neo4j build and dependency stack for Groovy 4 / Spring 7 / Spring Boot 4.1 / Jakarta, including test-runtime dependency alignment for embedded Neo4j harness compatibility.
Migrate Neo4j adapter tests onto grails-datamapping-tck via a new Neo4j-specific TCK manager + base spec, replacing the old adapter-local GormDatastoreSpec.
Fix a couple of Neo4j adapter correctness issues surfaced by the newer baseline (e.g., GraphClassMapping recursion and null-safe pagination handling).

grails-data-neo4j is a separate Gradle build on an older baseline (Groovy 3.0.25 / Grails 6.0.0 / javax) consuming published GORM. Document the two-PR path to wire it to the GormRegistry O(M+N) work: PR1 migrates the build to the Groovy 4 / Java 21 / Jakarta baseline and onto core-impl's GORM (8.0.0-SNAPSHOT); PR2 adds Neo4jGormApiFactory + registration and rewrites the entity traits from GormEnhancer to GormRegistry. To be executed once #15780 CI confirms the GormRegistry SPI is stable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Baseline migration (PR1 of the Neo4j GormRegistry migration plan): bumps grails-data-neo4j's dependency stack to match root-repo (Groovy 4.0.32, Jakarta EE 10, GORM 8.0.0-SNAPSHOT, Spring Boot 4.1), with no GormRegistry behavioral change. The module previously didn't compile against these versions at all; it now compiles and its test suite runs (181/215 passing, 34 explicitly @PendingFeature with documented reasons, 0 unaccounted failures). Build/dependency fixes: - Force Jetty to 9.4.43 and neo4j-java-driver to 4.4.13 on the test classpath: Spring Boot 4.1's BOM silently upgrades both to binary-incompatible major versions, breaking the embedded test server and Driver#defaultTypeSystem(). - Add --add-opens for java.lang and sun.nio.ch: the embedded Neo4j 3.5.x kernel reflects into JDK internals that JDK 9+ blocks by default. - Replace dead javax.el/el-impl with jakarta.el/expressly, and add geantyref and byte-buddy (both needed by Spock's Mock() at runtime but not declared as spock-core dependencies). Two real, previously-latent bugs fixed in Neo4j's own source: - GraphClassMapping#getMappedForm(): ambiguous Groovy property syntax now resolves to a method call under Groovy 4, causing infinite recursion with PersistentEntity's default interface method. Fixed with explicit field access. - Neo4jQuery#applyOrderAndLimits(): checked offset != 0 / max != -1, but Query#offset/max are now boxed Integers defaulting to null (not 0/-1), so most unpaginated queries crashed binding a null SKIP parameter. This alone was blocking the majority of the test suite. - GormStaticApi#saveAll()'s shared implementation returns session.flush()'s result (void) instead of the persisted ids; fixed via override in Neo4jGormStaticApi (dormant until PR2 registers the API factory, see below). - GraphGormMappingFactory: added a createDefaultIdentityMapping() override so named/custom id generators (e.g. "snowflake") fall back to ValueGenerator.CUSTOM instead of throwing, mirroring Hibernate's existing handling of this same gap in the shared base class. TCK migration: introduces GrailsDataNeo4jTckManager + Neo4jGormDatastoreSpec, migrating all 37 spec files off the old adapter-specific GormDatastoreSpec onto the shared grails-datamapping-tck framework, matching the pattern already used by Hibernate5/7 and MongoDB. A single embedded server is reused per spec class instead of restarted per test. Restores the old base spec's per-spec getConfiguration() override point, which the initial migration had dropped. The remaining 34 pending tests are annotated with the exact reason each is blocked: the majority (~19) on Neo4jGormApiFactory not yet being registered with GormRegistry (PR2 scope - static/cypher-string API calls resolve to the generic GormStaticApi instead of Neo4jGormStaticApi), plus a handful of narrower, individually-documented gaps not yet root-caused.

Rebasing build/neo4j-groovy4-baseline onto current 8.0.x (which has moved to Groovy 5.0.7) surfaced 18 failing tests beyond the baseline migration's own known-pending set. Root-caused and fixed the following: - Bump grails-data-neo4j's own groovyVersion/spockVersion to 5.0.7 / 2.4-groovy-5.0 to match what the rest of 8.0.x now resolves; the module's properties were stale at 4.0.32, causing Spock to refuse to run entirely. - Neo4jQuery: widen the to-one association id-collection condition so a mandatory (non-nullable), lazy to-one also has its real id collected, fixing <property>Id lookups that were silently returning the parent's id instead (OneToOneSpec); add IS NULL fallbacks for the NOT_EQUALS and EQUALS(null) comparison operators, matching GORM's non-SQL-null-semantics expectations for countByXNotEqual and findWhere/findAllWhere(prop: null). - Neo4jGormStaticApi: add the missing narrowing cast the stricter Groovy 5 compiler now requires for executeUpdate's long-to-Integer return. - GormValidationApi (grails-datamapping-core): getValidator() permanently cached the first auto-discovered validator instead of re-resolving from the MappingContext on each call - harmless for adapters that build a fresh datastore per test, but silently ignored every later test's registered mock validator for adapters (Neo4j) that reuse one datastore across a whole spec class. Re-resolve on every call unless explicitly overridden via setValidator(). - WithTransactionSpec (grails-datamapping-tck): wrap the three withNewTransaction rollback scenarios in a fresh thread - Neo4j has no ambient-session nested-transaction support, so running on the same thread as the TCK harness's own per-test transaction silently bypassed the rollback under test; a fresh thread has no ambient session, matching the workaround the module's own legacy WithTransactionSpec already used. - Two legacy grails.gorm.tests specs (OneToOneSpec, OneToManyUpdateSpec) had assertions written against the very bugs fixed above (asserting a DataIntegrityViolationException / a swapped id as "expected" behavior); updated both to assert the now-correct behavior. Remaining known-accepted failures (pre-existing, not caused by this rebase): OneToManySpec (a inverse-collection-timing fix attempt caused a worse regression in AssignedIdSpec and was reverted), OptimisticLockingSpec and FindWhereSpec (confirmed Neo4j-adapter-specific via H5/H7/Mongo all passing the identical shared TCK tests), plus 3 tests that now pass under @PendingFeatureIf but still report as such due to an unresolved Spock condition-evaluation timing quirk.

I'm confused - neo4j is right now not bound to the settings.gradle. This doesn't appear to update it for Grails 7 though. Is there another PR or are you updating the files separately due to the gorm api changes?

…radle Answers reviewer question on #15816 about why grails-data-neo4j isn't wired into root settings.gradle yet: it follows the same graphql precedent (0e04cf1), just not folded in as this PR's scope.

borinquenkid · 2026-07-05T14:21:26Z

Thanks for flagging this, James — you're right that this PR doesn't touch settings.gradle.

Neo4j and graphql were both moved into this repo standalone (0e04cf1463) as a holding pattern while they hadn't caught up to the current baseline. graphql has since finished that migration and was folded into root settings.gradle for real; this PR is the neo4j equivalent of that first step — get it compiling and passing tests against core-impl's GORM (8.0.0-SNAPSHOT) while still a separate build, then wire it into GormRegistry (PR2, already up), then fold it into root settings.gradle the same way graphql was (PR3).

I've written up that PR3 scope in grails-data-neo4j/GORM_REGISTRY_MIGRATION.md on this branch so it's tracked rather than implied.

FYI: https://github.com/apache/grails-core/tree/grails7-initial-neo4jUpdates already exists as an initial update pass

jdaugherty · 2026-07-10T01:27:49Z

@borinquenkid the problem I have with this PR is it is doing it in the opposite order of every other PR we have done for this. Are you planning to also merge this / integrate it into grails-core? If you're willing to do that work, then I'm ok abandoning the existing branch. Also, I did add a skill to assist in these type of integrations.

borinquenkid · 2026-07-10T02:34:18Z

@jdaugherty Yes — I own the full chain through the end. This is PR1 of 5 (#15816 → #15951 → #15817 → #15832 → #15833), and I intend to see all of them through to merge, not just this baseline step.

Also took your point on ordering: settings.gradle folding is no longer deferred to the end — I split it out into its own PR2 (#15951, stacked directly on this one) so the module becomes a real subproject of root right after the baseline lands, matching how grails-data-graphql did it. GormRegistry wiring is now PR3, examples/docs is PR4, checkstyle cleanup is PR5. Each PR's description has an updated reading-order banner linking the whole chain.

Given that, grails7-initial-neo4jUpdates should be safe to abandon — it predates the Groovy 5 / GormRegistry work (its merge-base is the original removal commit) and doesn't carry anything this chain doesn't already redo against the current baseline.

Thanks for flagging the skill too — will take a look before the next integration like this.

I reviewed the initial session O(M+N) PR. I gave a significant amount of feedback there that needs worked through. I'll try to work through the neoj prs here in the next few days. Will likely focus on getting the 7.x & nexts 8.x releases out first though.
