How can I update Grails to 1.1 with IntelliJ IDEA 8.0.1?

Question

I'm running IntelliJ IDEA 8.0.1 and would like to upgrade my Grails installation to Grails 1.1 which was released today (March 10, 2009). When the upgrade is complete and I try to "run-app" my application I get the error message

"Grails Are Not Configured".

It seems to be a known problem - but is there any work-around or fix? I'd love to upgrade to Grails 1.1, but I'm not willing to trade it for IntelliJ.

Answer 1

I'll have to try it at home, but I wonder if you just have to point to the Grails 1.1 SDK when you create your Grails module?

I'm using the Python plug-ins in IntelliJ 8.1. When I create a new Python module, I have to specify where to find the Python SDK.

I'm assuming that it's similar for Grails.

If the Grails plug-ins are written assuming Grails 1.0 you're screwed. No getting around that until the plug-in is upgraded.

Answer 2

IntelliJ IDEA 8.1 supports Grails 1.1 SDKs

Answer 3

Grails 1.1 doesnt work with Intellij Idea 8.0.1.

I think the updated Intellij 8.1.1 EAP will work with Grails 1.1. If you are having problems though try using an older version of grails (i.e. 0.6)
