Thanks for the release @graemerocher

As a workaround, you can define an environment variable specifying the Groovy version:

export CI_GROOVY_VERSION=2.4.5

Third time’s the charm, and as soon as I posted this, it started working.

The below fixed it for a coworker and me, though the previous suggestion did not:

uninstall 2.5.5 with sdk or removing the candidate directory sdk install grails 2.5.4 sdk use grails 2.5.4 grails create-app x delete that application sdk install grails 2.5.5 sdk use grails 2.5.5 grails create-app x then works

+1 for 2.5.6 release. We shouldn’t have to dirty up our grails installation because of a bug.

ken-roberts on Nov 3, 2016

Can we have it fixed plz and a 2.5.6 release… this is really painful to not to be able to create-app or plugins, or a hot fix or just a patch build…

Whts the use of 2.5.5 if devs cant create app/plugins without doing some hacks… and lots of ppl are facing this issue, there are questions on stackoverflow pointing to this ticket.

snimavat on Oct 16, 2016

I’ve run into a similar problem installing grails 2.5.5 via sdkman.

sdk install groovy 2.4.4
sdk use groovy 2.4.4
sdk install grails 2.5.5
sdk use grails 2.5.5
grails create-app test

Same errors as snimavat

Removing the directory or running sdk rm grails 2.5.5 and trying again doesn’t fix the problem.

rm -rf ~/.sdkman/candidates/grails/2.5.5/ repeat above same errors

sdk rm grails 2.5.5
sdk rm groovy 2.4.4

repeat above same errors

Everything works fine with grails 2.5.4.

I also have other versions of grails/groovy for other applications I work on.

Same OS/versions as snimavat: Operating System: OSX EI Capitan Grails Version: 2.5.5 JDK Version: 1.7.0_79

A coworker can reproduce with Yosemite.

katherinessmith on Jun 30, 2016

Just tried, and works perfect, no idea what went wrong the first time…

snimavat on Jun 27, 2016

Grails 2.5.5 uses Groovy 2.4.5. The errors above indicate that Grails is looking for Groovy 2.4.4. It looks like your environment somehow got confused.
