Question

Hi I upgraded my Grails application from 2.2.0 to Grails 2.3.4, but I'm getting this error :
|Loading Grails 2.3.4
|Configuring classpath
Error |

Any recommendations to fix this issue ?

Answer 1

From the Grails 2.3.4 Release Notes
If you are upgrading from previous versions of Grails 2.3.x and you use the Hibernate and/or Tomcat plugins you will need to update the versions in BuildConfig:
build ':tomcat:7.0.47'
runtime ':hibernate:3.6.10.6'
And since you are upgrading from 2.3, I think you should also read What's new in Grails 2.3?

Grails 2.3.4 requires you to upgrade most of your dependencies. I don't know all but I think you have to upgrade hibernate to hibernate 3. Here's what my current project's BuildConfig looks like:
dependencies {
// specify dependencies here under either 'build', 'compile', 'runtime', 'test' or 'provided' scopes e.g.
runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.24'
//compile 'com.paypal.sdk:merchantsdk:2.4.103'
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.2'
compile ('org.apache.poi:poi:3.9','org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:3.9')
compile 'com.stripe:stripe-java:1.3.0'
}
plugins {
// plugins for the build system only
build ":tomcat:7.0.41"
// plugins for the compile step
compile ":scaffolding:2.0.0.RC1"
compile ':cache:1.1.1'
// plugins needed at runtime but not for compilation
runtime ":hibernate:3.6.10.6" // or ":hibernate4:4.1.11.M2"
runtime ":database-migration:1.3.5"
compile ":jquery:1.10.2"
runtime ":resources:1.2"
// Uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable additional resources capabilities
//runtime ":zipped-resources:1.0.1"
//runtime ":cached-resources:1.1"
//runtime ":yui-minify-resources:0.1.5"
//app plugins
compile ':webflow:2.0.8.1'
compile ":mail:1.0.1"
compile ":asynchronous-mail:1.0-RC5" //1.0
compile ":spring-security-core:1.2.7.3"
compile ':excel-export:0.1.10'
compile ":spring-security-core:1.2.7.3"
test ":spock:0.7"
}
This works for me.
