Getting Cannot invoke method assetBaseUrl() on null object exception while running grails application with inline grails plugin

Question

I am running a grails 3 application with an inline grails plugin. I have written this line in build.gradle.

compile project(':document-management-system')

and written these lines in setting.gradle file.

include 'document-management-system'
project(':document-management-system').projectDir = new File('/file/path')

After running grails application i got the following exception. However if i remove that build.gradle line code then it is working fine.

Exception: Error processing GroovyPageView: [views/login/auth.gsp:4] Error executing tag <asset:stylesheet>: Cannot invoke method assetBaseUrl() on null object] with root cause

Please check for correct version of assets pipeline in both the inline plugin application and Grails application
