Grails 3.0 error, nullpointer

Question

I was just trying to run Grails 3.0.1 in commandline via "grails" but it failed with the following stacktrace:

| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: null
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.DefaultGroovyMethods.collect(DefaultGroovyMethods.java:3137)
    at org.grails.cli.profile.git.GitProfileRepository.getAllProfiles(GitProfileRepository.groovy:72)

| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: null

I'm using this version of Java

java version "1.8.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)

Answer 1

I have tried all the things mentioned in different threads, including setting GRAILS_OPTS. The issue seems to go away after running grails create-app myApp and create a sample app.

Not sure why, but seems like a connection problem with the Grails repo, which resolved after running the command.
