Run "grails shiro-quick-start --prefix=org.example.Shiro" with Grails 2.3

I seem to be unable to run 

    grails shiro-quick-start --prefix=org.example.Shiro

in the terminal when I'm on Grails 2.3. Anyone know why that is?

I have a feeling it is to do with me being unable to run

    grails install-plugin shiro

also as it says

Since Grails 2.3, it is no longer possible to install plugins using the install-plugin command.
Plugins must be declared in the grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy file.

Example:
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
   ...
   plugins {
      compile ":shiro:1.2.0"
   }
}
Solution

  • Latest version of grails no longer supports install-plugin command, and all plugins must be configured in BuildConfig.groovy and not application.properties.

    Try this

    In your BuildConfig.groovy

    plugins {
  compile (":shiro:1.2.0") { excludes "servlet-api" }

    }

    You need to exclude dependency to servlet-api, see my comment above and this link

    Next, start grails console and use refresh-dependencies command, and then compile. After that exist grails console and start it again. (I have to do this after installing new plugin, if i want to execute a gant script from that plugin)

    Try running shiro-quick-start command again, it should work definitely.

    BTW, you may want to give a look to nimble plugin, it extends functionality provided by shiro plugin, and gives you ready to use UI etc, it may save you a lot of time.
