Grails 2.3.4 SQL Exception thrown if project is not cleaned before running


I have a Grails 2.3.4 application that is behaving oddly. When ever I run the project (grails run-app) without first running the command grails clean, I following exception is thrown and the process terminates.

If I do run grails clean before grails run-app, the project runs great. From my research into the issue here are a few points of note regarding my project:

Any ideas what I need to do so that I do not need to run grails clean every time before I run grails run-app?

Update Here is my Datasource.groovy

dataSource {
    pooled = true
    driverClassName = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"
    dialect = "org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect"
}
hibernate {
    cache.use_second_level_cache = true
    cache.use_query_cache = false
    cache.region.factory_class = 'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory'
}
// environment specific settings
environments {
    development {
        dataSource {
            url = "jdbc:sqlserver://<my server url>"
            username = "foo"
            password = "bar"
        }
    }
    test {
        ...
    }
    production {
        ...
    }
}

Solution

  • I ended up having to create a new Grails 2.3.4 project then copy all of my code from the old project over to the new project. This resolved my problem; I no longer had to run grails clean before running grails run-app.

    I still don't know what caused this issue, but I was handed this code and the previous developer had the same issue. My only guess at this time is that the project was originally created using an earlier version of Grails then upgraded, but I don't know for sure.
