Erro on compile/run grails app 3.2.5 on Elementary OS

Question

Well, I create grails projects with version 3.1.10 , 3.2.0 , 3.2.3 , 3.2.4 with success.

When I use 3.2.5 , 3.2.6 or 3.2.7 , I have errors like this:

Download https://repo.grails.org/grails/core/org/grails/grails-test/3.2.6/grails-test-3.2.6.jar
| Error Failed to compile CreateScaffoldController.groovy: startup failed:
CreateScaffoldController.groovy: -1: unable to resolve class org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired
 @ line -1, column -1.
1 error
 (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)
| Error Command [compile] error: null (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)

My environment:

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_80"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_80-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.80-b11, mixed mode)

I am using sdk do manager grails version:

$ sdk use grails 3.xx

When use 3.2.5 , 3.2.6 or 3.2.7 , problems.

Steps with all version reported:

$ sdk use grails 3.x.x
$ grails create-app g3xx
$ cd g3xx
$ grails compile

With 3.2.5 :

*g325 $ grails compile --stacktrace

Answer 1

Check your dependencies, something is incorrect about them and is causing the Servlet API and Spring JARs not to be on the compile classpath. Running gradle dependencies will help you identify the problem.
