Error loading BuildConfig (Grails 2.1.0) - grails

I've been racking my brain for hours trying to figure this out. Whenever I try to perform any kind of action to my newly created Grails project (with a fresh Grails install), I get this error message:
Error There was an error loading the BuildConfig: ivy pattern must be absolute:
${HOME}/.m2/alpha/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-[revision](-
[classifier]).pom (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)
I can deduce that there's a problem with my installation, but its a fresh install as I said so I'm not sure what could have caused this problem already.
I'm running Win7. Any help would be much appreciated.

Problem solved for now.
It was a Maven problem, which I didn't consider initially. For some reason, the localRepository tag in /Users/USERNAME/.mp2/settings.xml couldn't resolve the path to HOME, so replacing ${HOME} with the C:/Users/USERNAME did the trick. Strange but it works for now. If anyone has a better solution let me know!

My solution was a little different:
(1) Create a variable that points to your .m2 repository location:
def localMavenRepo = "file://" + new File(System.getProperty('user.home'), '.m2/repository').absolutePath
(2) Create a repository entry:
repositories {
...
mavenRepo name: 'Local', root: localMavenRepo
}

I also got the same problem.
I think it's not Maven problem, it's Apache Ivy's problem.
I think Apache Maven 2/3 works well, it's just that Apache Ivy didn't pick the correct Maven folder. The Apache Ivy didn't expand the ${user.home} as it should.

I solved this by setting my M2_REPO environment variable to an absolute path. On linux:
export M2_HOME=/home/chris/.m2/repository/
On windows you can set environment variables in the System Properties dialog (shortcut to System Properties is WindowsKey+PauseKey). Go to System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables.

unable to add qrcode grails plugin?

I started a brand new grails 2.2 app. I want to add qrcode plugin.
https://plugins.grails.org/plugin/technipelago/qrcode

- org.grails.plugins:qrcode:0.7
I appreciate any help as to integrating qrcode plugin. I dont need latest version. I just need to make qrcode plugin to work. Old version will do.
Thanks for the help!
First add local maven repo (mavenLocal()) to your in BuildConfig.groovy:
repositories {
inherits true
grailsPlugins()
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
}
Then add dependency in BuildConfig.groovy:
dependencies {
compile "org.grails.plugins:qrcode:0.7"
}
If by adding in dependency not work then add it to plugins:
plugins {
compile(':qrcode:0.7')
}
You can refer repo of this plugin where you can see available versions.
Hope this helps you.
Try version 0.7.1
I looks
It is also for Grails 2.x and should load just fine by putting it in the plugins {} section like you did.

move Grails project from older to newest version of Intellij Idea IDE

I've developed my Grails project in a machine that has Idea 13 installed.
Now I've moved in another machine and I've installed the latest version of the IDE.
I've installed Grails (ver. 2.2.1) and Groovy (ver. 2.4.6) giving the path variables as described in their installation instructions. I've created a new project from existing source but when I try to run it, it gives me errors about plugins.
Plugins are missing and I cannot install in the project because the tab in the menu Tools -> Grails -> Plugins (or right click on the root of the project -> Grails -> Plugins) does not exists. I've tried with creating a brand new Grails project and the tab exists, so maybe it depends on the way I've imported the project.
Here it is the BuildConfig.groovy content:
grails.servlet.version = "2.5" // Change depending on target container compliance (2.5 or 3.0)
grails.project.class.dir = "target/classes"
grails.project.test.class.dir = "target/test-classes"
grails.project.test.reports.dir = "target/test-reports"
grails.project.target.level = 1.6
grails.project.source.level = 1.6
grails.project.war.file = "target/${appName}.war"
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
// inherit Grails' default dependencies

build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"
runtime ":database-migration:1.1"
compile ':cache:1.0.0'
compile ":ckeditor:4.4.1.0"
}
}
Here it is the error in Grails console:
Error |
Failed to resolve dependencies (Set log level to 'warn' in BuildConfig.groovy for more information):
- org.grails.plugins:cache:1.0.0
- org.grails.plugins:ckeditor:4.4.1.0
How can I import it without receiving errors in building code?
EDIT:
I've created a brand new project. It installs default plugins but does not allow to add new plugins via Tools->Grails->Plugins
The error is (i.e. log4j plugin installation):
|Resolving plugin log4j-xml. Please wait...
|Error resolving plugin [name:log4j-xml, group:org.grails.plugins, version:0.2]. Plugin not found.
Error |
Plugin not found for name [log4j-xml] and version [0.2]
I've solved the problem on my own.
The solution is the same found here: Error Failed to resolve dependencies grails

Grails stops at "Configuring classpath" even at a helloworld project

I want to learn Grails, so I started with a Hello-World Projekt.
I tried everything in the cmd.exe and in STS. I have Windows7.
First i wrote grails create-app helloworld command
Then i swaped in the new helloworld\ directory and wrote grails run-app
But the command-line doesn't go furthen then Configuring classpath
I watched in other forums but nothing helped.
I am sitting in a companys-internet. Does this cause the fault ?
Fault if log level is set on verbose (only the last few lines - before were about 500 other lines)

Be sure you are not behind a proxy.
Check on the command line grails list-plugins.
If this call fails: add and set the proxy and check the correct entries in the ProxySettings.groovy.
May this helps.
Please check internet and plugin download links are accessible or not..
I am sitting in a companys-internet
I faced the same problems with my company's proxy server.
On a Windows machine in grails-version_number\bin\ there is a startGrails.bat. Here the settings for your proxy server could be set via JAVA_OPTS (towards the bottom of the file). But it would not be a good to do so, because when you upgrade Grails a year or so from now your customs settings will be lost. And you'll be scratching your head about why Grails no longer works and/or you cannot remember the syntax for setting the proxy server info.
So, in the same bin\ directory make a new file called setenv.bat. In that add
#rem Java proxy properties for connecting to proxy server
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dhttp.proxySet=true -Dhttp.proxyHost="proxyServerName" -Dhttp.proxyPort="0123" -Dhttp.username="userName" -Dhttp.password="userPassWord"
I would remove the helloworld directory you just created and then again run
grails create-app helloworld

I am fairly new to groovy/grails so I am not sure what should I do next to resolve this issue. Or can anyone suggest me any other code documentation plugin for grails?
Thanks,
Dee
NOTE
When I ran "grails doc" it generated all the documentation code in target/docs folder. It has index.html page which I thought would list all the api functions, but it didn't have any information on the api documents there - so I wrongly concluded that grails doc was not generating the API documentation. I should have looked into target/docs/gapi folder instead to get the generated API documents for grails. I apologize for my noob problem, and not being able to see the solution that was right there in front of me. Thanks.

You can still use the standard grails commands as long as all your dependencies are referenced in the BuildConfig.groovy.
However, you probably don't want to maintain both the Maven POM and BuildConfig.groovy, unless you have some team members who don't want to use Maven.
Unless the project needs to be 'buildable' using both Maven and the standard Grails command line, avoid the BuildConfig.groovy at all costs, as well as the Grails command line.
Details
When using Maven, you need to do the following :
Do not set dependencies in BuildConfig.groovy, add them to your POM:
The dependencies block from your BuildConfig.groovy move to the POM(with the default implied type tag set to jar).
For non jar dependencies(plugins or non-binary plugins), you need to explicitly set the dependency type to zip in your pom.xml.
Also, remove the repositories block from your BuildConfig.groovy, and set the repositories in your POM.
Do not use the grails command line, use the Grails Maven goals, as implied by #dmahapatro.
When you decide to use Maven and Grails, it implies that you want avoid having settings in your BuildConfig.groovy.
Then you'd have your build settings(all if it were 100% possible) driven by the Maven POM.
