Hey Everyone,

I was working on a grails 2.3 project and 2.4 came out so I decided I'd
upgrade.

I downloaded grails, blew away my target directory and upgraded my
BuildConfig.groovy. It now looks like this:
....
dependencies {
// specify dependencies here under either 'build', 'compile',
'runtime', 'test' or 'provided' scopes e.g.
runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.29'
// runtime 'org.postgresql:postgresql:9.3-1100-jdbc41'

compile "org.springframework:spring-orm:$springVersion"
}

plugins {
// plugins for the build system only
build ":tomcat:7.0.52.1"

// plugins for the compile step
compile ":scaffolding:2.1.0"
compile ":cache:1.1.3"
compile ":asset-pipeline:1.8.3"

// plugins needed at runtime but not for compilation
// runtime ":hibernate:3.6.10.7" // or ":hibernate4:4.1.11.6"
runtime ":hibernate4:4.3.5.2" // or ":hibernate:3.6.10.14"
runtime ":database-migration:1.4.0"
runtime ":jquery:1.11.0.2"
// 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"

compile ":spring-security-core:2.0-RC3"
}
}

When I run grails compile it compiles with no errors, but when I type grails
run-app i get the following exception:

context.ContextLoader Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean
with name 'grailsApplication' defined in ServletContext resource

nested exception is

Thoughts??

(copy over the applicationContext.xml from the 2.4 distro into your
grails app)

This forum is dead.

Please use StackOverflow,

or/

grails-dev-***@googlegroups.com

In summary, if upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4 perhaps your best bet is first to ensure you have 2.4 working correctly with correct versions of Groovy, and Grails installed - GVM tool can help here.

Create a vanilla 2.4 project, and ensure that is working correctly with default build config. Then potentially, build up from there by bring across artefacts from old project to new one, testing as you go.

The upgrade is obviously a full dot upgrade, the docs on the Grails site should provide some guidance on upgrading reqs.

Best of luck.

As mentioned by others please use Stack Overflow / the new mailing
list. However in this case please see:
