Description RWTerrell 2013-05-30 16:58:43 UTC

Using grails 1.3.2, with gradle 1.2 installed... any attempt to create or open a grails project gets me the same exception (see below; I've trimmed the stack-trace elements for space, but the full stack trace is in the attached IDE log).


Failed to load Gradle project: grails-1.3.2
org.gradle.tooling.BuildException: Could not fetch model of type 'IdeaProject' using Gradle installation 'C:\Tools\gradle-1.2'.
Caused by: org.gradle.api.internal.LocationAwareException: Build file 'C:\Tools\grails-1.3.2\build.gradle' line: 12
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'grails-1.3.2'.

Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: id for class: org.gradle.api.internal.plugins.DefaultObjectConfigurationAction

The error seems to happen on the 'build.gradle' file in the grails directory.  The line causing the problem is:
   apply id: 'groovy'

This is an exception from Gradle plugin. Reassigning to Third-party component and CCing Attila as the Gradle plugin author.

As far as I can see from the logs, the build script throws an exception. My guess is that the build script is not compatible with Gradle 1.2. What you can do, is to set "?VER=0.9-20100118091626+0100" in the project properties as "Gradle home". I didn't actually try this but this what is specified fro the wrapper in Grails sources. If this version does not work (due to possible incompatible changes in the Tooling API), you may experiment with other versions (e.g.: "?VER=1.0").

Comment 4 RWTerrell 2013-06-04 14:44:22 UTC

The build script works correctly with Gradle 1.2 when executed from the command line... it only gives an error when I try to open the project through NetBeans (7.3). I've got NetBeans pointing to the same Gradle 1.2 installation.

Here's the output of the 'gradle -version' command executed on the command line:

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 1.2
------------------------------------------------------------

Gradle build time: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 10:46:02 AM UTC
Groovy: 1.8.6
Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.4 compiled on May 22 2012
Ivy: 2.2.0
JVM: 1.6.0_45 (Sun Microsystems Inc. 20.45-b01)
OS: Windows 7 6.1 amd64


Finally, can you clarify your advice to set "?VER=0.9-20100118091626+0100" in the project properties as "Gradle home"? That "Gradle home" option is available in the project properties if I explicitly create a Gradle project in NetBeans, but that's not what I'm doing -- I'm creating a Groovy -> Grails application.

Comment 5 attila.kelemen 2013-06-04 14:59:57 UTC

I assumed that 'C:\Tools\grails-1.3.2' refers to the sources of Grails. If it is a project you have created via a wizard, it means that the wizard generated an out-of-date code (I advise you to use a newer version of Grails). That is, Grails 1.3.2 relies on a pre 1.0 version of Gradle which is not compatible with post 1.0 versions (such as 1.2).

If you don't want to move to a newever version of Grails, you have two options:

- Open the project 'C:\Tools\grails-1.3.2' and right click on the project node, then choose "Properties". There you can set the previously mentioned property.
- Set "Gradle Installation Directory" in the global settings (Tools/Options/Miscellaneous/Gradle) to "?VER=0.9-20100118091626+0100" or to an empty string (if the project has the Gradle wrapper enabled).

I recommend the first option however.
