I installed grails 3.0.1 with gvm in the usual way and am using Linux mint.

Completely stumped by this and --stacktrace doesn't yield any more info.

[jeffscottbrown]

Is anyone else able to reproduce this?

[nandris]

update

I get similar bytecode when I try to manually install grails from the git repo.

(afaik this is not due to gvm)

What JDK are you using and does the problem still happen if you use -noverify?

Thanks for the feedback.

[nandris]

I am using JVM Version: 1.7.0_67 manually downloaded and installed, after removing openjdk

sudo apt-get remove openjdk*
sudo mkdir -p /opt/java
cd ~/Downloads
sudo mv jdk1.7.0_67 /opt/java
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/opt/java/jdk1.7.0_67/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --set java /opt/java/jdk1.7.0_67/bin/java
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/opt/java/jdk1.7.0_67/bin/javac" 1
sudo update-alternatives --set javac /opt/java/jdk1.7.0_67/bin/javac
sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/javac /usr/bin/javac

As currently working:
mic@mic-X202EP ~ $ java -version
java version "1.7.0_67"

mic@mic-X202EP ~ $ javac -version
javac 1.7.0_67

[jeffscottbrown]

Does the problem go away if you use 1.7.0_45?

[nandris]

Use of -noverify

mic@mic-X202EP ~/Grails/anotherapp $ grails -noverify

SOLVED

This problem goes away when I use jdk1.7.0_45 instead of jdk1.7.0_67

Thanks for the feedback

[anderskristian]

I think the problem has nothing with JDK to do.
I get the same problem each time I upgrade Grails
The cure is to start a new shell.
I even observe out of memory problems, these problems vanish after rebooting my MAC .. Please dont quite me for that ... but the problems did go away :-)

[robertoschwald]

Problem also occurs sometimes on OSX 10.11.x using Java 8.0_65. So maybe reopen the issue?

[Vishal-Sahu]

Set a env variable called GRAILS_OPTS with the value "-XX:-UseSplitVerifier -Xverify:none"

I have setup grails 3.2.1. on windows JAVA_HOME and GRAILS_HOME is also set. verified by running grails -version and worked as expected.

But when issue command to create app, it always throw following error

"Error occurred running Grails CLI: unable to find valid certification path to requested target (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)".

I tried it by disconnecting the internet and come to know its trying to connect to https://repo.grails.org

It seems that some certificates must be in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts. with this thought I downloaded the SSL certificates from https://repo.grails.org by accessing the URL in browser.

same certificates imported in the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts but still no change.

I could not find even a single related post over the internet.

when creating Grails app in Netbeans 8, I get the same error.

I don't know if I need any other valid certificate or there is any other problem.

Many thanks in advance for any help on this.
