Error: No plugins found in repository: grailsCentral

Question

I am getting the next error when i run grails list-plugin with grails 2.0.1.

I am not behind a proxy.

I have recently updated gem to version 1.8.17 while i was trying to install cloud-foundry plugin

Debugging steps

I have tried the following without success.

• Deleted my $HOME/.grails folder
• Deleting my GRAILS_HOME folder and downloading grails 2.0.1 and installing it again.

• I have tried to create an app from were. Same error:

  $ grails create-app dummyapp

  | Created Grails Application at /Users/sdelamo/Developer/grails/dummyapp

  $ cd dummyapp/

  $ grails list-plugin

  | Environment set to development.....

  | Error No plugins found in repository: grailsCentral. This may be because the repository is behind an HTTP proxy.

I have used grails 2.0.1 in the same machine before without no problems.

Answer 1

It's a temporary misconfiguration that happened when we switched the grails.org site to new servers. It's fixed now though.

Answer 2

As of May 22 the repo move started in March seems to be biting if you're not aware. See Graeme Rocher's post

Specifically, this worked for me:

repositories { 
...
// grailsPlugins()
grailsRepo "http://grails.org/plugins" 
...
}
