Grails No profile found for name [web] illegalstateexception
<img src="/img/2013/11/grails.png" alt="Grails"> Most likely you’ve landed on this page because you’ve searched for the error in a search engine and it brought you here.
Symptom: When you run “grails” under an existing project that you previously had (either on a different PC or from a source-control like GIT or SVN and you’ve mistakenly included the “build” directory).
The associated error would have been one of the following:
Grails No profile found for name [web]
or
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No profile found for name [web].
at org.grails.cli.GrailsCli.initializeProfile(GrailsCli.groovy:507)
at org.grails.cli.GrailsCli.initializeApplication(GrailsCli.groovy:308)
at org.grails.cli.GrailsCli.execute(GrailsCli.groovy:271)
at org.grails.cli.GrailsCli.main(GrailsCli.groovy:162)
| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: No profile found for name [web]
Either way, here’s how you can quickly resolve this issue and get back in business.
Solution:
Step-1: Remove “.grails” under your “home” directory.
rm -rf ~/.grails/
Step-2: Create a temporary new project
cd /temp/grails create-app bookstore
This will create a new scafolding and download the dependencies
Step-3: Remove the “build” directory under your original Grails project where you had the problem to begin with.
cd ~/my_original_grails_project/;
rm -rf ./build/
# Remove the old "build" directory
Step-4: Run Grails once again under your original Grails project
cd ~/my_original_grails_project/;
grails
