I am upgrading a project from Grails 2.5.1 to Grails 3.1.4.
My Multi-Project Build structure in Grails 3.1.4 is as follows:
- Root
|--MainProject
|--Plugin1ForMain
|--Plugin2ForMain
|--settings.gradle
I run the MainProject using grails run-app command and whenever I change my codes in Plugin1ForMain or any other plugins, the changes are not automatically recompiled like it did in Grails2.x .
How can I make my project autocompile plugin's code in grails3.x ? I am using gradle version 2.3
I also got the same issue with grails 3.1.4 and when I changed the version of Gradle and profile web plugin it started working for me. Hope it solves your problem too.
a) Use Gradle version 2.13, change the Gradle version in gradle.properties
gradleWrapperVersion=2.13
b) And change the profile plugin version to 3.1.6 in build.gradle
profile "org.grails.profiles:web-plugin:3.1.6"

I am using Grails 3.0.5
After I create a project... at root project has folder .gradle with 2.3 version...
How to update that Gradle version?
I tried to download Grails 3.0.9 and create a new project..but it still use Gradle 2.3 version..
I tried to download Gradle 2.6 from this link , because I am using windows... I tried to run gradlew.bat ... and recreate-app with Grails 3.0.9 version...and i still get a new project with Gradle 2.3
That's defined in gradle.properties. If you change the version there (I recommend using 2.8 for the new features and speed improvements) you can use the wrapper that's there from Gradle 2.3 to generate a new wrapper for whatever version you're updating to; just run
gradlew.bat wrapper
or
./gradlew wrapper
if you were using Linux or OSX, and it will update the gradlew and gradlew.bat scripts, and the wrapper files under gradle/wrapper.
I have been learning Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) 3.6.4, with Grails 2.4.4 using some video tutorials. When I attempt to package the project into an application using the grails war command on the Windows command prompt, I get the following error:
"Error Gradle build terminated with error: Task 'assemble' not found in root project ..."
Any references to this error that I have found online have only involved Android Studio (for instance), so I am at a loss here as to how to fix it for GGTS.
I have Android Studio 1.0.1 installed, and in case it was affecting the Grails packaging, I tried the solution of removing the <component name="FacetManager"> from the general Android Studio "MyApplication.iml" file, but that had no effect. I couldn't find any analogous file for the GGTS.
In case the issue lies elsewhere in my overall installation, I have Java JRE 7_79 (64-bit) installed, as well as the the JDK 1.7.0_79 (64-bit)
OK. I found out what the cause of the error was, and how to avoid it in the future.
The Problem
Grails 3.0.1 requires the following files for grails war to work:
build.gradle
gradle.properties
gradlew
gradlew.bat
\gradle (directory)
Grails 2.4.4 does not require any of the above files for making a WAR file.
GGTS 3.6.4 does not work with Grails 3.0.1, but it comes with and works fine with Grails 2.4.4.
The Solution
Copying the stated Gradle files & directory to a GGTS project folder fixed the problem. However, I wasn't satisfied with needing to do this manually or with a custom batch file for every project.
Looking deeper, it turns out that when working out compatibility issues between the Java 32-bit JRE existing on my system and the Java 64-bit JRE & SDK, Grails, and GGTS versions (there was a lot of fiddling to get things working), at one point I had set up my global variable to Grails to be directed at 3.0.1, and I failed to update it to Grails 2.4.4. Making this change has fixed the issue.
Explaining the Cause
When following this video series on installing a compatible set of Java, Grails, and GGTS, the instructor manually downloaded the latest version of Grails from the Grails site and then downloaded GGTS separately from its own site. Both of these were older versions than what I was working with.
In my case it turns out that, after setting up the Java SDK & Grails, the latest version of GGTS (3.6.4) did not work properly with the latest version of Grails (3.0.1). Fortunately the GGTS bundle came with an older version of Grails (2.4.4), and by referencing that, GGTS would work correctly. However, although I changed the IDE reference to Grails, I forgot to reset my environment variable ...
So GGTS was setting up the project for using Grails 2.4.4. However, when calling grails war, the command was using Grails 3.0.1! Apparently these two versions of Grails use different files for creating a WAR file, so GGTS was not setting up the project directories with the correct local files, and the packaging was failing.
Avoiding Future Occurrences
So, when using GGTS 3.6.4, make sure that all references to Grails point to Grails 2.4.4.
In general, if any GGTS bundle contains a version of Grails, you should have everything set up to use that version, even if it is old.
I'm going to migrate an existing Grails 2.0 plugin to 2.4.
According to the migration guide the following steps were done:
run set-grails-version 2.4.4
update to latest plugin versions (hibernate4, tomcat, release and etc)
In in Intellij I've changed plugin SDK version on 2.4.4. Now module->dependencies looks like
It looks good but when I do grails compile, I have MultipleCompilationErrorsException in SvnDeployer class of release:3.0.1 plugin with "unable to resolve" message: unable to resolve class org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils(it's strange, commons.io is included into grails library)
On SDK of 2.0 everything is fine, but when I change SDK version to 2.4, project can not be compiled.
From my experience, Grails upgrades are not really smooth especially between feature releases.
I recommend starting with the usual
grails clean
grails refresh-dependencies
grails compile
After that check if you still get the same kind of errors, see whether or not excluding the svn plugin helps (if you're not using it).
I am using grails 2.2.1 and have created plugin in the same version and once i had already installed plugin into a project and started working but after doing some changes in the plugin
i did run-app then maven-install and package-plugin again with the same plugin and removed plugin from the same project and grails but the next time when i install plugin the changes can not be seen.How can i get the changes that I have done in the plugin please help.
my problem is fixed ..to remove the plugin we have to remove it from the projects root directory and from the grails directory in which current project is running.With these things we can get the changes after re-installing the plugin.
I’m trying to upgrade Grails to version 2.2.0. I used gvm and installed Grails 2.2.0. After this I changed my project in GGTS to use Grails version 2.2.0 and Groovy version 2.0.0. But when I finally tried to run the project, I got the following error:
Error occurred during initialization of VMError opening zip file or JAR manifest
missing : null
agent library failed to init: instrument
What is the problem?
We had the same problem.
This is due to eclipse saving old run configuration for the previous grails version.
Just remove old launch configuration and retry.
To remove old launch configuration :
go to Run\RunConfiguration\Grails
select all nodes and remove them.
I had the same problem when I started using Grails 2.2.0 - The solution Ian mentioned works, here is the link to the issue and resolution that occurred in my project
Grails 2.2.0 error
Added on 1/15/2013 Other suggestions based on 2.2.0/ivy cache issues
I am running on windows, a couple of things to try.
Based on your error message seems like the issue might be related to the Ivy cached, I would suggest cleaning that out using the clean command.
I would also go ahead and delete the Icy cache folders on your machine at \ivy-cache(after backing it up just in case)
Read grails documentation at http://grails.org/doc/2.0.0/guide/gettingStarted.html, refer to section 2.3 regarding Ivy cache – there might be issues running 2.x and 1.x grails projects side by side.
When install, I do not have to install groovy explicitly - I just install grails and that take care of the groovy code implicitly. Is that possible for you to do? To rule out dependency issues?
On my version of grails I have the groovy version showing up as 2.0.5 – I assume you meant grails 2.2.0 – can you ensure that you have a groovy version installed with is compatible with grails 2.2.0?
If possible try your code on a fresh device where grails has not been installed before. This is to rule out interference due to other existing issues
It's a known issue to do with the fact that the version of the springloaded reloading agent used by 2.2 (and 2.1.3) has a different name from that used by previous versions of Grails. There's a workaround in the bug report, or you can upgrade to a nightly build of GGTS which knows about the new name (as described in this bug report).
I am using GGTS 3.2 with Groovy compiler 2.1.1 on Windows XP.
Had imported a project from GGTS 3.1, upgraded compiler to 2.1.1 and got in mess, so
deleted the project and removed it from .grails cache, then re-created project from scratch. When it came to running the project I got the ivy error.
Removing the old launch configuration via Run->RunConfiguration...Grails fixed problem without switching to a night build of GGTS.
(BTW Deleting ivy-cache didn't help at all)
