“Method was used outside of a Grails application”

Question

I just upgraded one of my grails 2.3.8 projects to grails 2.4.0. Just for your information: This project ist very complex and depends on many plugins, so it has many dependencies.

Until now i think everything works but i can't start my grails app with "run-app" because of this exception:

| Error 2014-06-02 18:13:00,560 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager  - Error configuring dynamic methods for plugin [taxonomy:1.2]: Method on class [com.grailsrocks.taxonomy.Taxonomy] was used outside of a Grails application. If running in the context of a test using the mocking API or bootstrap Grails correctly.

I'm using some of the dynamic methods of the taxonomy plugin in my BootStrap.groovy at application startup. I can't figure out why it doesn't work because i didn't change code so far. Maybe someone knows a solution?

Answer 1

Downgrading the hibernate plugin to ':hibernate:3.6.10.14' helped. Seems that the taxonomy plugin isn't compatible with the new hibernate4 plugin.
