Quartz Grails plugin - grails

Question

I'm building an application using Grails 3.3.11 and Quartz Grails plugin 2.0.13, there were some old jobs I migrated them to my new application and they were working fine previously, however now I'm getting the below error when I'm trying to run them manually from Quartz monitor page, also getting the same error when after creating a new job and try to run it manually. Any Idea what may be causing this error and how to solve it?

Here is my sample job:
class EveryEndOfDayJob {
//def utilsService
static triggers = {
cron name: "daily", cronExpression: "0 0 1 * * ?"
}
def execute() {
println("Job is running")
}
}

Answer 1

After downloading Grails 3.3.13 and creating brand new project, you can add plugin quartz 2.0.13 and everything is working as expected: https://github.com/majkelo/stackoverflow-quartz-issue
If I were you, I'd focus on the exception:
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'utradeorders.EveryEndOfDayJob': Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [java.lang.Object]: Factory method 'newInstance' threw exception; nested exception is org.grails.core.exceptions.NewInstanceCreationException: Could not create a new instance of class [utradeorders.EveryEndOfDayJob]!
especially check: Error creating bean with name 'utradeorders.EveryEndOfDayJob'
have you put this job in the proper place / subfolder? what will happen if you move it out of utradeorders subfolder?

Answer 2

When I was reviewing the build.gradle I found it was written compile 'org.grails.plugins:quartz:2.0.13' I changed it to runtime and everything worked as expected.
