Searchable Plugin Unable to Resolve Class in Grails 2.2.4

Question

Whenever I run my Grails application for the first time, using searchable 0.6.4, I get the following error:

| Error Fatal error during compilation org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:

Attempting to run the application a second time results in the application running as expected.

Not a showstopper, but certainly troublesome, any idea on how to resolve this?

Answer 1

Believe you need to run grails refresh-dependencies after the plugin is added in BuildConfig.groovy but before run-app.

This would help in refreshing the dependencies of the app to those two files which are present in lib of the plugin.

searchable-0.6.4/lib/compass-2.2.1.jar.

As those dependencies are not configured in dependency section in the BuildConfig of the plugin but in lib, hence refresh-dependencies command is required.

It works in subsequent attempts because once the app is compiled or run, app becomes cognizant of the transitive dependencies it needs to pull from the plugin.

Answer 2

I have need to add a couple of maven repos in BuildConfig.groovy

mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/core"
mavenRepo "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/"

And then:

grails compile --non-interactive --refresh-dependencies
