Hi @hellobigbean,

I haven’t been able to replicate the error on my end. Could you share the project or more details about it?
It would help me investigate further.

Thanks!

@matrei the issue occurs when you add spring-boot-devtools to your build.gradle

dependencies {
    // ...
    developmentOnly("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
}

@hellobigbean do you have that dependency? if so, try commenting out temporarily then running the command.

I can confirm that with developmentOnly("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools") this error occurs on a Grails 6.2.0 project and without it does not occur.

I think this might be happening due to some dependency might be missing from the restart classloader. We've faced serveral issues in the past due to JARs or classes while using "spring-boot-devtools". I'll try to look into this and share more details soon.

Also, it seems similar to #13509
