Error on Grails run-command - grails

I tried to create a command following the Grails docs:
https://docs.grails.org/latest/ref/Command%20Line/create-command.html
But when I execute grails run-command my-example I get the following error:
:compileJava NO-SOURCE
:compileGroovy UP-TO-DATE
:buildProperties UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE
:findMainClass
:runCommand
Application class not found
:runCommand FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':runCommand'.
> Process 'command '/home/user/.sdkman/candidates/java/8u144zulu/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
The Application class was generated normally when I created the app and hasn't been modified.
The complete stacktrace is as follows:
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':runCommand'.

The grails and groovy versions are:
| Grails Version: 3.3.1
| Groovy Version: 2.4.11
| JVM Version: 1.8.0_144

Found my way here after the same problem in Grails 4, but running a command from a Grails 3 plugin. Then stumbled on to this line of code:
https://github.com/joansmith3/grails-core/blob/master/grails-console/src/main/groovy/grails/ui/command/GrailsApplicationContextCommandRunner.groovy#L91
Adding my fully qualified application class name to the end of my command allows the script to execute. For example:
./grailsw run-command my-command arg1 arg2 com.myapp.Application
However, the script appears to continue to run after my command has executed successfully, and the build ultimately fails. I don't see this documented anywhere, and I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe it's because the command is in a plugin? Either way, wanted to provide a workaround in case anyone else hits this same issue.

My guess is that your command is returning false, which is supposed to cause the build to fail.

Check this link https://github.com/grails/grails-core/issues/10501. Sorry I cant comment(not eligible) that's why posting as an answer.

I've googled the "Could not..." error to no avail. Any pointers on how I can debug this further? Thanks!
I had the exact same error. In my particular case, I was using Localstack to mock my services and it was trying to bind to a port that was already assigned to some other service.

java: 8u131-zulu
I execute:
grails create-app foo
cd ./foo
grails run-app
This is what I get:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':findMainClass'.
Illegal null value provided in this collection: [null]
I tried downgrading grails all the way to 3.2.3 but was still getting the error.
I'll put in the full stack trace below.

Same thing happend with me, when I was using gradle 4.0 with grails 3.2.11.
Just downgrade it to gradle 3.x. and it'll fix the issue.

BUILD FAILED
Total time: 25.892 secs
Ways I've tried to debug this issue:
Making sure there is nothing wrong with the gradle script (it runs fine on our corporate jenkins server)
Disabling "Prevent Cross Site Request Forgery exploits"
Changing the of /var/lib permissions to 777
Running the docker image of jenkins
Trying different versions (latest, 1.651.3, 2.7.2)
Manually sending post requests to the jenkins server via postman
Causes java.io.IOException: Failed to persist config.xml error
Restarting jenkins
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Disable+security?showComments=true&showCommentArea=true#addcomment
Note: I am using the terrafolio plugin for gradle
Any suggestions welcome!
Try checking the jenkins log at /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log while running the gradle script:
tail -f /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log

Running npm run watch command in gradle

I'm new to both gradle and npm and I'm trying to get a grails3 - angularjs2 example application up and running.
This is the application
https://github.com/agileorbit/grails3-angular2-starter
When I try and run the application, I get the following exception which appears to be happening here
task startTscWatch(type: SpawnProcessTask, dependsOn: [copyNodeModules, cleanUpPid]) {
command "npm run watch"
ready 'Compilation complete. Watching for file changes.'
}
I don't fully understand the exception, so if someone could help point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

I got the same exception and I think that, as me, you are using Windows. To avoid this exception, you can change the startTscWatch task definition in build.gradle by using command "cmd /C npm run watch" instead of command "npm run watch".
But unfortunately, you will get another exception:
Execution failed for task ':startTscWatch'.
> java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: pid
This times, the problem comes from the implementation of startTscWatch task, that uses reflection to access a pid property (see this issue). This doesn't work on Windows platform.
Concerning pid, and the reason why accessing a pid property is not cross platform, have look to How to get PID of process I've just started within java program?.
java.io.IOException
stands for Input/Output exception so gradle can not find specified file:
Cannot run program "npm" (in directory ".")

I have run into the exact same problem. Found that gradle version upgrade to 2.9 or higher will fix the issue.
or directly use gradle to build the war
./gradlew clean assemble
Check this and this for more details.
Late but hope it helps someone.
