Hi - has anyone come across an issue with Grails 5 failing to run commands? I'm attempting to introduce db migrations to an existing app but whichever task I run, dbm-status, create change log etc. etc. I hit the same issue.. Error: Could not find or load main class grails.ui.command.GrailsApplicationContextCommandRunner Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: grails.ui.command.GrailsApplicationContextCommandRunner I've seen hints that it could be to do with dev tools or the pathingJar, but even after disabling both I still the same issue.

Do you have the `grails-console`dependency added?

console 'org.grails:grails-console'

Yes I do, one of my all time favourite tools 😉

Ok 👍. That is strange,

grails.ui.command.GrailsApplicationContextCommandRunner

is from

grails-console

. If I remove it from a Grails 5 app I get the same error messages as you reported when running dbm-* tasks. I would create a fresh app and confirm it works and then compare with your existing app.

Do you add the database-migration plugin to the build classpath? and also add grails-console as console dependency?

@Michael Yan yes to the classpath, and the console was defined as runtimeOnly 'org.grails.pluginsgrails console2.1.1' About to try it without the console plugin

No, use the org.grails:grails-console

Is that the web based console? I'm not sure it is

I have created a Admin Console, I am planning to create a new Web Console, because I have refactored the grails-console, with many improvements and features
