Grails 3 schemaExport contains warning with FileNotFoundException that looks for sitemesh.xml

Question

When schemaExport is executed using Gradle for a Grails 3.3 application, below warning is in the log though ddl.sql is created. According to Grails 3 documentation sitemesh.xml is removed so naturally the file wouldn't be available. Am I missing something?

Tools and version: Grails 3.3.0, Gradle 3.3, Hibnerate 5, Sybase ASE 15.7

This is just a WARN message. The underlying spring class is looking for it and just saying it's not there. The default the log level does not show this output.

You can safely ignore the message or adjust your logger to not show it.
