Answer 1

You do not have to create a new project.

Had the same problem, and it took me quite some search to resolve it:

• right click your Grails module
• click "Add framework support"
• select "Groovy"
• The dropdown next to "Use library" will allow you to choose a grails library.
• If the dropdown is empty press "create" and choose your grails library directory.
• Grails SDK is configured then

Answer 2

With Intellij 16 right click on your project in the right hand project pane.

Choose Grails->Configure Grails SDK.

If you're using the grails wrapper I would point to that SDK:

/Users/your user/.grails/wrapper/2.5.2/grails-2.5.2

Answer 3

I found a symlink that points to the latest version in:

~/.sdkman/candidates/grails/current

I'm using SDKMAN 4.0.37

Pointing Intellij at that location will allow you to switch versions using sdkman.

Answer 4

I am working with IntelliJ 12.0.1 ultimate. I have installed Grails 2.3.1 on my computer, but always got errors when trying to specify it as a Grails SDK- "failed to create library. Looks like Grails distribution in specified path is broken. Cannot determine version." I tried with Grails 2.3.0, but got the same error. Then, I tried my luck with Grails 2.2.4, and I could finally get it work.

Answer 5

I have the IntelliJ 12 too, to run app i just click in 'File' -> 'Create Project', select 'Grails Project'

Click Next,

Click em Create, select the folder, who contain the Grails 2, and Voila. :-)

If you has the project before, run in project 'grails integrate-with --intellij' or run import project, and create a Grails SDK

Answer 6

Not really an "answer" here, but after seeing similar troubles with IDEA I went ahead and just created a new project and copied my source in and resolved my issues, if not solving the actual problem.
