How do I set up Grails with IntelliJ IDEA? I have the ultimate edition. sdkman installed Grails in /home/user/.sdkman/candidates/grails/current/bin/grails
but if I choose that folder as the SDK, IDEA says: The selected directory is not a valid home for Grails SDK
How do I set up an IDEA project with Grails?
grails -version from the terminal provides me the following:
| Grails Version: 3.2.8
| Groovy Version: 2.4.10
| JVM Version: 1.8.0_121
So it's definitely there..
There is no need to select a grails SDK with your version. Import a project from existing sources -> double click the build.gradle file - it will import and setup everything correctly - Assuming IntelliJ 2016.x or 2017.x
Video of process here: http://guides.grails.org/grails-quickcasts-developing-grails-3-applications-with-intellij-idea/guide/index.html
Edit: I see what your saying now, you can't select current in sdkman - use /home/user/.sdkman/candidates/grails/3.2.8
The question was for Grails installed with sdkman, but in case anybody comes looking in here and they have installed Grails with brew, you can brew info grails and find something like this in the output:
The GRAILS_HOME directory is:
/usr/local/opt/grails/libexec
This path will work in the IntelliJ new-project dialog to set up the SDK.

Using NB-8.2 In the dialog - "Tools/Options/Miscellaneous/Groovy" You could enter the location of your Grails-installation" but know with NB11 that input field is missing.
I've read the question "Can not run Grails project from NetBeans" where you where suggested to remove all plugins regarding Gradle and Groovy and then reinstall them, which I tried but it didn't help.
I tried it on NB11.1 and uninstalled the following plugins:
Gradle, Gradle and Groovy and Pure Groovy Project.
Gradle and Grovy including "Gradle and Groovy" couldn't be uninstalled - only deactivated but the last one "Pure Groovy project" could be uninstalled. But afterwards I can not find that plugin to reinstall. So where can I find that?
Now I have installed NB11.2 but still the same problem.
So where to go now?
I got this working on a fresh installation of NetBeans 11.2 under Windows 10 using Grails 3.3.11. However, there are some significant limitations because the approach essentially only recreates the Grails environment that worked with NetBeans 8.2:
Initial Status
There are no Groovy, Grails or Gradle entries on the project wizard menu (File > New Project...).
Tools > Plugins > Installed Plugins shows version 1.38 of Groovy is active, and version 1.2 of Groovy and Gradle is inactive.
The Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Groovy tab shows that there is no Grails Home field available, as mentioned in the OP.
NetBeans 11.2 Changes
First, note that you must set JDK 1.8 as the default platform for NetBeans 11.2. See this SO answer for details on how to do that. Of course you can still create projects using other JDK versions when the default platform is JDK 8.
Also note that taking the obvious step of activating Groovy and Gradle 1.2 does not help, and subsequently restarting NetBeans does not change anything, so discard that approach.
This is the initial version of the relevant plugins: Gradle 1.2, Groovy and Gradle 1.2 and Groovy 1.38.
Delete all three plugins. Netbeans will restart.
The Groovy tab is now missing from Tools > Options > Miscellaneous.
Select Tools > Plugins > Settings, and click the Add button, which will open the Update Center Customizer screen.
Enter Grails Plugins in the Name field (or any other descriptive value you prefer ), and http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/8.2/uc/final/distribution/catalog.xml.gz
in the URL field, and click OK.
Ensure that only the new entry for Grails Plugins is checked on the Settings tab, then go to the Available Plugins tab.
Select the entry for Groovy and Grails 1.34.1, and click Install. NetBeans
will restart.
After NetBeans restarts, select Tools > Options > Miscellaneous and click the Groovy tab. There is now a Grails Home field available, so set it to your Grails installation:
Creating a Grails Project
Select File > New Project > Groovy > Grails Application to create a Grails project.
You will get this error:
Warning |
Unrecognized flag: non-interactive.
Error |
Specify an application name or use --inplace to create an application in the current directory
One workaround for that is to create your Grails project from the command line using grails create-app..., then open that project in NetBeans. See this helpful SO answer for full details.
Once that is done, you can develop, build and run your Grails application in NetBeans 11.2:
Notes
After doing all the steps above, there is no Gradle entry under File > New Project..., and if you attempt to install the Gradle plugin to address that, you will get the following warning:
Don't proceed, because reinstalling Groovy 1.38 (which you deleted in step #6 above) will prevent Grails from working. So be aware that this solution for Grails prevents you from creating freestanding Gradle projects in NetBeans 11.2 using the Project Wizard. Also, to be clear, the only plugin you should have installed to get Grails working is Groovy and Grails version 1.34.1. You do not need any other plugins containing the words "Groovy" or "Gradle" installed.
I also tried creating a Grails project using Grails 4.0.1, but got the error "Could not instantiate global transform class org.spockframework.compiler.SpockTransform...". There are workarounds suggested for that error on SO. I didn't pursue them but since Grails 3.x does not work with any JDK > 8, and Grails 4.x supports JDKs > 8, you may want to pursue this issue yourself.
You can download and install the "Pure Groovy" plugin from here. Although it's old, it still seems to work fine, and it will add a "Groovy Project" entry in the Project Wizard:
Also see does netbeans 11 support grails?, although that question was for NetBeans 11.0 rather than 11.2.
The error I have is the following:

I'm following the steps that come on the NetBeans page.
I have installed:
Grails 3.3.8.
Groovy 2.4.15.
NetBeans 8.2.
From console create a project using grails create-app hello world and in this case it seems that there were no problems.
NetBeans doesn't currently support Grails 3.x as far as I know, however you might be able to import it as a Gradle project. I know that Netbeans is working on updating there Groovy support soon, maybe that will help...
The best IDE for Grails is Intellij Ultimate, which costs money, however you can use the community version, you just won't get GSP support.
I have installed GGTS 3.6.4 and also Groovy & Grails using GVM on my MAC OS.
In GGTS, Preferences - Configure Grails Installation - Add, I want to add the latest grails installed by GVM in /Users/user/.gvm/grails/current
I have also enabled the hidden folders in Mac.
grails version 3.x.x doesn't contain build.properties file.
So, you should follow the following steps:
Create /grails-3.x.x/build.properties file.
Inside build.properties write the content version name as
grails.version=3.1.1
Now, open GGTS .
Go to Window/Preferences.
Type grails in the 'type filter text'.
Select Grails.
Now click on Add button on the right panel to add grails version 3.x.x .
Select the grails version from the My computer.
You are ready to go.
Your GGTS will recognize it as now Grails installation.
According to the GGTS website, it only supports Grails 1.3/2.x (not the latest Grails 3.x). Pivotal discontinued support for GGTS earlier this year.
The best IDE alternative currently is IntelliJ IDEA. Grails 3 is built on Gradle, so no special support for Grails is necessary as IDEA already has excellent support for Gradle projects.
When I run my Grails project in Eclipse then the following error comes. What is the meaning of the error? How to remove this? I am using the Git to share the application on Bitbucket. Why is it showing the list of the plugins? Also when I run the app from the command prompt of the Grails then the app runs and there are no errors. Why is this?

You could import the project as a Git project in eclipse and try to run. This has fixed my issue recently.
Otherwise
Right click on the project
Click on run
Go to Run As, then select Run Configurations
Delete the existing run configurations of the present project
Run the project now.
It will work perfectly.
I create a new Grails project from NetBeans but when I complete the project complition wizard, nothing to show in my NetBeans project window. My details configuration is:
NetBeans 8.0.2, JDK 8 64bit, Grails 3.0.1
I check my environment veriable setting for Java & Grails also. Everything seems ok, and one important thing is in command line when I type grails -version, it shows the version name and so on. I uninstall NetBeans, JDK, & Grails several times but same problem, I also try it for JDK 1.7 32 bit, no result. I'm used to with NetBeans, so I don't try to other IDE.
Maybe look where the project is defined on disk and open it into NetBeans.
I dont know how this case was solved, but to me it looks like the problem is still valid:
The New Project wizard (Groovy -> Grails Application) calls "grails create-app" but does not generate the nbproject directory.
My environment is:
NetBeans: 8.0.2; Grails Version: 3.0.4; Groovy Version: 2.4.4; JVM Version: 1.7.0_79
Netbeans 8.0.* does not have support for Grails 3.* projects. It can create project but cannot recognize and open the project since the project structure has been dramatically changed from Grails 2.* to 3.*. There was a task created to resolve this problem. Now it reads VERIFIED FIXED for version 8.1. So please upgrade to Netbeans 8.1.* in order to be able to handle Grails 3.* projects in Netbeans.
