Grails 3.1.4 cannot run-app - grails

I have just moved to the new Grails 3.1, and my first app in Grails worked fine. But when I created a another new Grails 3.1 app I ran into a new problem; the problem occurs when try to run using run-app interactively in the new application root:
| Running application...
Error: Could not find or load main class try3grails.Application
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':bootRun'.
> Process 'command '/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
| Error Failed to start server (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)
The class try3grails.Application referers to the first app's main method class I created; so the error seems to be that Grails cannot 'forget' the old app classpath. Does any one have a solution to this or is there something I missed?
Running grails --version gives:
| Grails Version: 3.1.4
| Groovy Version: 2.4.6
| JVM Version: 1.8.0_77
Grails is installed using SDKMan on a ubuntu linux machine.

Make sure you are running run-app from the right directory.
Also try to do some cleaning:
grails clean could help.
If nothing helps - you can clear grails/gradle cache, or create a new app.

I believe I have found "workaround" by updating the gradle wrapper version from 2.9 to 2.12(or 2.10 works too).
This is done by updating the version number in gradle.properties
and in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, and then executing:
./gradlew wrapper

Cannot create application with Grails

I've downloaded Grails from
Manual Installation
https://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/gettingStarted.htm
and followed all the instructions there.
But when I ran
grails create-app helloworld --stacktrace
I got the error:
| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: Could not find artifact org.grails:grails-bom:pom:3.3.9 in nexus (http://<ip>:<port>/nexus/content/groups/public) (NOTE: Stack trace has been filtered. Use --verbose to see entire trace.)

Has anyone experienced the same issue? I've googled it but there aren't many results and the suggested solutions didn't help me.
The one "did nothing" and it started working, and the other suggested cleaning maven repository. I didn't do the last one as I didn't see how a fresh Grails installation is related to installed Maven... However I'm new to Grails.
Maybe a proxy should be set...
Nope. When I tried to set proxy I got:
grails add-proxy client --host=<ip> --port=<port>
| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: Could not find artifact org.grails:grails-bom:pom:3.3.9 in nexus (http://<ip>:<port>/nexus/content/groups/public) (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)
All that happened when I used Grails 3.3.9 on Windows 10
Using Grails version 2.5.0 fixed the error for me.

"Error occurred running Grails CLI: null" when running grails 3.0 command line

I'm trying to run grails list-profiles, but receive the following error:
snowch#snowch-ws2:~/repos$ grails list-profiles --stacktrace
| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: null (NOTE: Stack trace has been filtered. Use --verbose to see entire trace.)

My versions are:
snowch#snowch-ws2:~/repos$ grails --version

This was on a fresh install of grails and gvm.
The command grails create-app myapp works without error.
This question is similar to Grails 3.0 error, nullpointer, however, that question does not state what command is being run.
After searching online, I found that I needed to set my GRAILS_OPTS environment variable as follows before running the command:
export GRAILS_OPTS="-XX:-UseSplitVerifier -Xverify:none"
Source of fix: https://grails.org/news/1292028
I have not figured out, what is the exact cause of the error, but it seems to occur if you try to run grails 3 in the system where grails 2 is also installed.
What I did to get the command run - I created the project in a new directory. The directory for my old grails app was:
/home/me/projects/oldgrailsapp
when I tried to execute the grails command in /home/me/projects it failed, but when I tried this in another directory /home/me/projects_new, it succeeded. So I guess that the problem was that old grails configuration was somehow interfering with the new one.
I also removed references to old grails and groovy versions from the PATH variable by editing .bashrc file in my home directory (I really do not know if it was needed).
I had same experience when I was working on "Building an Andoird Client" guide, I got the following message whenever I try to create an app in the same folder where I've created the first app grails-app :
| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: null (Use --stacktrace to see the ful
l trace)
So obviously, when you create a grails app in folder containing "grails-app" directory, grails will consider this folder as full grails application, hence cannot create-app in that directory.
I used:
Grails 3.1.15
Java 1.8.0.101
Hope this help.
It worked for me now.
this was my setting
GRAILS_HOME=C:\Users\murali.solayappan\apps\grails-3.1.11
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102
I received the same error while launching "grails" for the first time
**Error occurred running Grails CLI: connect timed out**
After reading GRAILS_HOME\bin\grails.bat i found that executing "grails" while in GRAILS_HOME dir makes some difference. So I did the same
Now i received error stating that GRAILS couldn't find a particular maven package from my mirror repository - printed my private nexus repository url. I know that's my private repo and not connected to internet.
so I changed the MY_HOME_DIR.m2\"settings.xml" with the one came by default in Maven.
After that executed "grails" while in %GRAILS_HOME% dir.
It worked like breeze !!! I got grails prompt.
C:\Users\murali.solayappan\apps>grails
| Enter a command name to run. Use TAB for completion:
grails> exit
Somethimes it happens when you have wrong version of grails installed for the project you want to run it on
try to run it somewhere else and see if you get the same error
i had the same issue because i was using Grails 1.3.5 witj Java 8 which are incompatibles. I changed with Java 7 and it works fine.

Grails org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log not found

I'm using Grails 2.3.8
I've created a default app using
grails create-app testapp
When I run:
grails runApp
I get the following issue:

I tried running:
grails dependency-report
but I get the same issue.
java -version
gives:
java version "1.7.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
Not sure if this is your problem, but I vaguely recall there being some problems with Groovy and the earlier versions of Java 7. I'd recommend moving to the most recent. I have no problems with 2.3.8 and jdk1.7.0_55 (most recent at time of writing).
Have you looked for conflicting versions of slf4j? Try running Grails dependency-report.
There are a few other SO questions that indicate this to be a cause of issue. Eg: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log
sl4j error in weblogic when deploying grails application war
One thing that can help in debugging situations like this is doing:
export JAVA_OPTS="-verbose"
You can then see which slf4j JAR is being loaded by the JVM, but yes there is undoutably some conflicing slf4j JAR on your classpath
There was an instance of slf4j in:
/Library/Java/Extensions/
Moving that out seems to have fixed the problem.

Grails VM exited with error

I am facing problem in executing a the test cases for grails application. I'm using grails 2.3.7 and jdk1.7.0_25. when I am trying to perform the test-app command to test my grails application, I am getting the bellow error.
|Loading Grails 2.3.7 |Configuring classpath . |Environment set to test ...................................... |Running without daemon... Error | Error running forked test-app: org/codehaus/gant/GantBinding (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace) Error | Forked Grails VM exited with error
any guess, why this type of error comes? Please check in this regard and suggest any help.
It looks like this may be an issue with a missing tools.jar file, according to this bug. Seems like it may have been fixed in a later version of Grails, so if you can't add the jar, perhaps upgrading may help.

Can't get Grails application to run on Windows 7

I'm having trouble running Grails on my PC (running Windows 7).
It's been a couple of years since I last worked with Grails, and I have a new computer. So I downloaded Grails and NetBeans and followed the instructions. (Grails: version 2.3.7, NetBeans: version 7.4.)
Everything seems to be working. Both the Java JDK and Grails work - I can run "grails" from the command prompt. And it was easy to activate the support for Grails in NetBeans.
I created a very simple "Hello world" application. It compiles fine - and I can run "grails war" to create a War file. But I can't get it to run on my PC. I get the same error using "Run" in NetBeans and when running "grails run-app" at the command prompt:
|Running Grails application
Error opening zip file or JAR manifest missing : C:\Program%20Files\Grails
\lib\org.springframework\springloaded\jars\springloaded-1.1.5.RELEASE.jar
Error occurred during initialization of VM
agent library failed to init: instrument
Error |
Forked Grails VM exited with error
And the program won't start. The jar in question isn't missing, so I can't see what's wrong. Any ideas? I'd be more than grateful for some help! :-)

Move your copy of grails to C:\ and try again.
There is a known problem with location with space symbol. You can see it in stacktrace:
C:\Program%20Files\...
