Question

Since upgrading an app from grails 1.3.7 to 2.1.0 I am getting the error below when attempting to submit(post) forms.

It only happens in debug mode though!

I’m using Groovy/Grails Tool Suite 3.1.0

5:41:13 ERROR [GrailsExceptionResolver] ClassCircularityError occurred when processing request: [POST] /myapp/contextRoot/addItem - parameters:

I’m baffled as to why this is happening…any ideas?

Thanks

So the following JIRA appears similar to the issue:

I now run the app with -noreloading argument in debug mode and it works:

-grails-debug -noreloading -Dserver.port=8082 run-app
