Details

Description:

I believe the current package for grails is broken.
When executing the command "grails", nothing happens.
To fix this I had to edit the file "/usr/bin/grails" and add at the end:
exec "$JAVACMD" "$@"

Also, this package accepts "jdk-openjdk" as a dependency.
jdk-openjdk right now is java version: 14.0.1.u7-1
However, grails is based on gradle, and gradle doesn't work with java 14.
When I used java 14 I had a StackTrace starting with:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7
This might be related: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/10248

After executing:
sudo archlinux-java set java-11-openjdk
The command worked (with several warnings).
After executing:
sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk
The command worcked as expected.

Additional info:
* package version(s):
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any
I hace tried this with "grails 4.0.3-1", the current version at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/grails/ .


Steps to reproduce:

# Install grails:
sudo pacman -S grails
# Execute grails:
grails

latest gradle works perfectly fine with java14, can you report the java version issue upstream?

Thanks, I will.

PD: it seems this is a known problem that will be fixed when Grails updates the version of Spring-boot it is using:

This is due to a (fixed, but not yet released) issue with `setconf`: https://github.com/xyproto/setconf/issues/16

`setconf-0.7.7-1` is now in the repos. Manually building the `grails` package with it does not strip the last `exec` line from `/usr/bin/grails`
