Grails 3.0 error, nullpointer

Question

I was just trying to run Grails 3.0.1 in commandline via \"grails\" but it failed with the following stacktrace:

| Error Error occurred running Grails CLI:          


        

Answer 1

I have tried all the things mentioned in different threads, including setting GRAILS_OPTS. The issue seems to go away after running grails create-app myApp and create a sample app.

Not sure why, but seems like a connection problem with the Grails repo, which resolved after running the command.
