seeing a strange error on application startup

Hi there,

I had a running application. I did a grails clean and when I re-started the application using run-app. The app keeps giving an error. Any ideas why ?

Error automatically restarting container: Error creating bean with name 'grailsApplication': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.DefaultGrailsApplication]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/grails/plugins/springsecurity/GrailsUser  [groovyc] Compiling 1 source file to /Users/harjitsingh/.grails/1.3.6/projects/pix-today/classesorg.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'grailsApplication': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.DefaultGrailsApplication]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/grails/plugins/springsecurity/GrailsUser

Hi,

Do you have spring-security-core plugin installed?
 

Yes, I do. Infact, I cleaned all my plugins and grails downloaded all the plugins so not sure what's going on here.

I found the source of the problem. I had renamed a class using the IDE for some reasons the class was re-named to correct class but the file wasn't. I found out by using the -verboseCompile option as to which class it was trying to compile. The error which I saw in the console didn't actually match the fix. I'm glad I was able to figure it out. Just adding my comments so that other people can get an idea as to what they need to do in such situations.

Thanks
