Question

After updating from Grails 2.3.10 to 2.3.11 and updating the path variable to

export GRAILS_HOME=/Applications/grails/grails-2.3.11

When I run: grails I get the following error:

Error: Main class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.cli.support.GrailsStarter could not be found

Answer 1

Solution:

Make sure you have environment variable set correctly.

1. Go to grails/bin folder $cd /Applications/grails/grails-2.3.11/bin
2. Then run grails from command line $./grails

When you run this command, necessary files for your grails will be downloaded.

3. Close your terminal
4. Now check your grails version from terminal $grails -version

There won't be any errors.
