Is it just me or is there anyone else having trouble getting IntelliJ IDEA to work OK with Grails 6 (on Windows)? It's not something to do with anything I've done with my app, because it occurs with a complete minimal virgin app downloaded from the Application Forge. 'DependencyResolveDetails' in build.gradle is not recognised and presumably as a result, I get a whole bunch of imports being flagged as having errors. This is IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1.3 (Ultimate Edition), and there's no difference with 2024.1.7 (the latest). I also get a whole load of errors in the Build window, starting with this: Could not resolve all files for configuration 'buildSrcruntimeClasspath'.

Could not resolve com.bertramlabs.pluginsasset pipeline gradle4.3.0.

Required by: project :buildSrc I don't have any such problems with my Grails 5 apps. Oh, and the Grails 6 apps compile and run fine from the command line, so it's obviously an IntelliJ specific thing.

I'm not 100% sure this is the issue, but I just checked my Grails 6.2.0 application and we have

runtimeOnly("com.bertramlabs.plugins:asset-pipeline-grails:4.3.0")

in the

build.gradle

file. Does yours have

asset-pipeline-gradle

rather than

asset-pipeline-grails

?

No, it's the same as yours.

6.2.1 will work out of the box. For 6.2.0 you have to add the grails-shell dependency.

I have 6.2.1 - that's where the problem is occurring (also in 6.1.2 and 6.2.0).

Since it is failing on asset-pipeline, I'd make sure buildSrc/build.gradle looks like the following. Here is a 6.2.1 app from start.grails.org on Windows 11. Also make sure you are using Java 11 or 17.

Thanks. I figured that as it was occurring with a pristine installation of IntelliJ and a pristine Grails application downloaded from Application Forge, it must necessarily be caused by something specific to the environment it was running in. In the detail of the error messages, Java 8 and Java 11 were mentioned, so I checked and found that although I thought that IntelliJ was running under Java 11, JAVA_HOME on my Windows laptop was set to Java 8. Having changed this to Java 11, everything now appears to be working fine. I have no idea why this would have been affecting import statements but never mind, I can move on now. (For some reason, DependencyResolveDetails in build.gradle is still unrecognised by IntelliJ, but it doesn't appear to to be affecting anything). I presume the reason Grails 5 apps worked OK is that they worked with both Java 8 and Java 11, whereas Grails 6 requires 11 or later.
