}

3. pin tomcat to 8.5.5 while Grails 3.2.4 standalone war failed to start  #10377 is unresolved

// build.gradle
ext {
	set "tomcat.version", "8.5.5"
}

4. ./gradlew assemble
5. cd build/libs
6. java -Dgrails.env=development -jar myapp-0.1.war
7. http://localhost:8080/console

same error with inline plugins packaged into as jars into the main app war file.

Environment Information

• Operating System: win x64
• Grails Version: 3.2.4
• JDK Version: 8.x
• Container Version (If Applicable): n/a

Example Application

• n/a

misc

• perhaps duplicate of Migration from Ver.3.2.3 to 3.2.4: "Template not found" Exception about gsp. #10376
• downgraded to 3.2.3, plugin views are resolved correctly

[graemerocher]

Same cause as #10377 fixed by upgrade to Spring Boot 1.4.4

See that issue for a workaround.

[zyro23]

i applied the workaround pinning tomcat to 8.5.5 - see op. still saw this behavior. did it work for you after upgrading to boot-1.4.4? if so, i am fine with waiting for 3.2.5 ofc.

[graemerocher]

Seems to be another change in behaviour with Tomcat as it is no longer resolving relative resources like it did before.
