I am trying to set a dependency version from a config.grooy properties. I have found a supoused way to do it here: pritomkumar.blogspot. This is the proposed solution:

Include the following lines in 'BuildConfig.groovy' file

def directory = new File(getClass().protectionDomain.codeSource.location.path).parent;
def config = new ConfigSlurper(grailsSettings.grailsEnv).parse(new File(directory + File.separator + "Config.groovy").toURI().toURL())
println "| Tomcat Version (API): " + config.grails.tomcat.version;
....    
plugins {
    runtime ":hibernate:2.2.4"
    runtime ":jquery:1.8.3"
    runtime ":resources:1.2"

    // Uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable additional resources capabilities
    //runtime ":zipped-resources:1.0"
    //runtime ":cached-resources:1.0"
    //runtime ":yui-minify-resources:0.1.5"

    build ":tomcat:"+config.grails.tomcat.version

    runtime ":database-migration:1.3.2"

    compile ':cache:1.0.1'
}

Include the following lines in 'Config.groovy'

grails.tomcat.version = "2.2.4"

but It looks to work for older grails version, because I got this error when I try to refresh-dependecies:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
script15010760392501179421923.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class com.whatever.configuration.ConfigurationFilesManager
 @ line 1, column 1.
   import com.whatever.configuration.ConfigurationFilesManager
   ^

Any Help? Thanks in advance.

You may check Grails use config.properties value into BuildConfig.groovy

Just replace config.properties to config.goorvy then you can get the Config value in BuildConfig tested in 2.5.6

But if we define a config in config.groovy such as `tomcatVersion = "2.2.4"

build ":tomcat:$slurp.tomcatVersion" will turn into ":tomcat:"2.2.4"" it's not fit the format

you can use another expression like
compile group: 'org.grails', name: 'tomcat', version: $slurp.tomcatVersion
