No signature of method: java.lang.String.encodeAsLineBreak() groovy / grails

I'm trying to debug a gsp page, but I'm getting the following error:

Code Snippet:
Solution

  • LineBreak is not a standard Grails codec, so make sure that your custom codec is correctly defined in the grails/utils folder.

    class LineBreakCodec {
    static encode = { str ->
        // convert the string and return the result
    }
}
