grails project does not appear to be part of a Grails application

Question

After migrating from my old Macbook Pro to my new one, I find that my project will no longer run. Grails keeps giving me a "Error /Users/Michael/{proj}/{proj} does not appear to be part of a Grails application". Refresh dependencies does seem to run successfully.

I have verified the following:

• there exists a folder grails-app in the project folder at the same location as on the old machine.
• I did run a grails clean followed by a grails upgrade to 2.0.4

The one thing it could be is that the user directory name has changed between the two machines, but I do not see the old user directory name in either .project or application.properties or in any settings.

Answer 1

I solved this by deleting workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches\<project>.launch. It had cached the old absolute path.
