`grailsw compile` stopped working

Hi all,

I have a setup that used to work for at least a couple of years without any issues. In my latest update, all of a sudden I am getting the following error:

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
./grailsw compile

And basically, I am getting the same error for any grailsw command.

If I log in with SSH, and trying to execute the same thing by hand, I am getting the same error. Also, checked if there is a network connection. All good…

What can be the reason for this error?

Hi there,

Thank you for your query!

I did note that an upstream change in the Grails Framework Artifactory instance was updated to redirect traffic over https while the grails-wrapper.jar is hard-coded to use http :

It does look like there’s already a PR for the fix though it doesn’t look to be merged right now. In the mean time it does appear that there’s a manual fix outlined in the blog post above involving replacing the grails-wrapper.jar file in your existing project.

Please check out the workaround above and follow the GitHub issue for updates.

Cheers,
Al
