JodaTime Domain properties are not listed as Persistent Properties

[puneetbehl]

Grails 3.3.2
JDK 8

For example we have a domain User.groovy

package demoapp

import org.joda.time.LocalDate
import org.jadira.usertype.dateandtime.joda.PersistentDateTime

class User {

    LocalDate dateOfBirth

    static constraints = {
	dateOfBirth type: PersistentDateTime
    }
}

Now, when we run the following test it should pass:

    void "test joda time property on persistentEntity"() {
		when:
		assert domain.properties != null
        PersistentEntity persistentEntity = User.gormPersistentEntity
        List<PersistentProperty> properties = persistentEntity.persistentProperties
		
        then: "Joda property found on persistent entity"
        properties.any {it.type == LocalDate}
    }

For unit testing, you need to register the CustomTypeMarshaller for the SimpleMap by adding this to your application.groovy:

grails.gorm.custom.types = [
    new SimpleMapJodaTimeMarshaller(LocalDate),
    new SimpleMapJodaTimeMarshaller(LocalDateTime),
]

The plugin should probably add this configuration automatically. This used to be done inside the initialize method on the SimpleMapJodaTimeMarshaller, however in GORM 6 and later, the registerCustomType method is no longer static so it must be done via the configuration.
