Completely lost on getting grails 3.X.X work with mongob - mongodb

Question

I have been struggling to get grails 3.1.7 to connect to local mongo db. I have implemented various suggestion via main documentation. I have gone through some post on stackoverflow by Alex M and Armarnath
My build.gradle looks like the following:
// ...
compile 'org.grails.plugins:mongodb'
compile "org.mongodb:mongodb-driver:3.0.2"
runtime 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-mongodb:1.8.1.RELEASE'
//compile 'org.mongodb:mongo-java-driver'
//compile("org.grails:gorm-mongodb-spring-boot:5.0.6.RELEASE")
//compile "org.grails.plugins:hibernate"
compile "org.grails.plugins:cache"
//compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-ehcache"
// ...
My application.yml is looking like the snippet below:
//...
environments:
development:
dataSource:
grails:
mongodb:
connectionString: "mongodb://localhost:27017/project-db"
# dbCreate: create-drop
# url: jdbc:h2:mem:devDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
test:
dataSource:
# dbCreate: update
# url: jdbc:h2:mem:testDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
production:
dataSource:
# dbCreate: update
# url: jdbc:h2:./prodDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
# properties:
# jmxEnabled: true
//...
Here is a sample model:
class FlowInfo {
int posIndex
String tagName
Boolean isEnabled
String name
static mapWith="mongo"
static constraints = {
posIndex unique: true
}
}
It looks like I am still getting data pulled from the first initial in memory database created probably at the first run of the seeding from the BootStrap.groovy. Is there a way to make this work. looks like different strategies worked for different people.
thanks for reading this.

I tried it with following configuration in application.yml that worked for me:
environments:
development:
grails:
mongodb:
connectionString: mongodb://localhost:27017/database-name
You might remove dataSource and try once.
