Problem with IDEA 11.1.2 and Grails 2.1 ?

While I did search the forum before posting I had a more general search today and found that was reported for grails 2.1 RC versions:

http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-86261

Using the grails_rt.jar from that reply seems to have solved the immediate problem and I'll wait to see if there are any further replies.

And I can confirm that the latest EAP build 721 also does not exhibit the problem (I didn't check any previous ones)

me too,while using Grails2.1 release against IDEA 11.1.2

We still have the same problem after importing a Grails 2.1 / Maven 3 project with EAP 117.747

I see that's a later build than the one I used (721 - which is no longer listed) - perhaps it's best to return to the released 11.1.2 with the fixed grails_rt.jar ? I must admit that's what I'm using.

graham

That didn't work either :(

Could it be so that the problem still persists when using the maven plugin?

As workaround you can specify fork=false in pom.xml

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.grails</groupId>
                <artifactId>grails-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${grails.version}</version>
                <configuration>
                    <!-- Whether for Fork a JVM to run Grails commands -->
                    <fork>false</fork>
                </configuration>
                <extensions>true</extensions>
            </plugin>
 

Thanks, I tried that but now the build fails early: (and the NPE is still there at the end)

On my machine this workaround works well. Please, run "mvn grails:exec -Dcommand=help" in console. Do you see same error?
