No such property: developmentModeActive for class

Question

Environment:

• Grails Version: 3.0.3
• Groovy Version: 2.4.3
• JVM Version: 1.8.0_45

Steps:

1. create app by create-app
2. add classpath "org.grails.plugins:hibernate:4.3.8.1" to build.gradle
3. run command grails schema-export

The result is failed, the key error log:

Exception in thread "Thread-11" groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: developmentModeActive for class: grails.ui.command.GrailsApplicationContextCommandRunner

Stacktrace:

Is this a bug for grails 3 ? or I make something wrong ?

Answer 1

This problem has been fixed in grails 3.0.4.

But you still have to apply the hibernate dependency fix. I'll describe it here to make the answer more helpful to others (based on this bug-report):

Add a hibernate dependency to buildscript.dependencies section of your build.gradle so it looks like this:

buildscript {
    // ...
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.grails:grails-gradle-plugin:$grailsVersion"
        classpath 'com.bertramlabs.plugins:asset-pipeline-gradle:2.1.1'

        // add this line
        classpath 'org.grails.plugins:hibernate:4.3.10.4'
    }
}
