Hi , tried to migrate my app to grails 7 and got something exactly like https://github.com/apache/grails-core/issues/11610

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'grails.plugin.formfields.FormFieldsTagLib': Error creating bean with name 'beanPropertyAccessorFactory': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'validateableConstraintsEvaluator' while setting bean property 'constraintsEvaluator'

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'beanPropertyAccessorFactory': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'validateableConstraintsEvaluator' while setting bean property 'constraintsEvaluator'

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'validateableConstraintsEvaluator': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'config' on null object

Can you add a simple Grails 7.0.0-M3 example with this issue to that ticket?

it's when I add

implementation 'org.grails.plugins:spring-security-core:7.0.0-M3'

Ok, please create an issue on https://github.com/apache/grails-spring-security/issues and link to that other issue on grails-core.

It's not just that in fact.

./gradlew clean

removes exception. this will take some time to reproduce in a simple project

i think a clean may be required on any upgrade. The issuse very well may be transient

No, I meant

gradlew clean

in the vanilla project where I was adding my real project dependencies. I have micronaut modules https://micronaut-projects.github.io/micronaut-spring/latest/guide/#micronautInsideSpring. Adding this blows up

implementation("io.micronaut.spring:micronaut-spring-boot-starter")

while micronaut has been removed, the work to confirm Graeme’s suggestion of using the starter has not completed yet
