“Error occurred running Grails CLI: null” when running grails 3.0 command line

Question

I\'m trying to run grails list-profiles, but receive the following error:

snowch@snowch-ws2:~/repos$ grails list-profiles --stacktrace
| Error E         


        

Answer 1

I had same experience when I was working on "Building an Andoird Client" guide, I got the following message whenever I try to create an app in the same folder where I've created the first app grails-app : | Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: null (Use --stacktrace to see the ful l trace) So obviously, when you create a grails app in folder containing "grails-app" directory, grails will consider this folder as full grails application, hence cannot create-app in that directory. I used: Grails 3.1.15 Java 1.8.0.101 Hope this help.
