resource plugin error when upgrading from grails 2.3.8 2.4
grails
Solution
Your web.xml may still contain references to the sitemesh filter:
http://grails.org/doc/2.4.3/guide/upgradingFrom23.html
The Sitemesh servlet filter has been removed and the GSP layout feature is now handled by GrailsLayoutView.
Rename the src/templates folder to src/templates-old, then run grails install-templates. If you previously customised your web.xml, you will need to edit the generated web.xml to make these changes again.
Problem
Im following the docs trying to upgrade my project from 2.3.8 to 2.4, but I am encountering these error(s) ``` localhost-startStop-1] ERROR resource.ResourceProcessor - Unable to load resources Message: No signature of method: groovy.util.ConfigObject.getGrailsPlugin() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [lesscss-resources] ->> 5 | run in BootstrapResources - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 46 | doCall in org.grails.plugin.resource.module.ModuleDeclarationsFactory$_getModuleDeclarations_closure2 | 41 | getModuleDeclarations in org.grails.plugin.resource.module.ModuleDeclarationsFactory | 715 | loadModules in org.grails.plugin.resource.ResourceProcessor | 1013 | reloadAll . . . . . . in '' | 166 | doCall in ResourcesGrailsPlugin$_closure3 | 262 | run . . . . . . . . . in java.util.concurrent.FutureTask | 1145 | runWorker in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor | 615 | run . . . . . . . . . in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker ^ 744 | run in java.lang.Thread Error | 2014-06-03 13:38:16,282 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR [localhost].

Or something I might have skipped over in the documentation Here is my buildconfig plugin section ``` plugins { // plugins for the build system only build ":tomcat8:8.0.5" // plugins for the compile step compile ":scaffolding:2.1.0" compile ':cache:1.1.6' // compile ":mail:1.0.5" // compile ":ckeditor:4.4.0.0-SNAPSHOT" compile ":searchable:0.6.7" compile ":jquery:1.11.1" // compile ":shiro:1.2.1" // compile ":resources:1.2.8" compile ':asset-pipeline:1.8.3' // compile (":nimble:0.7"){ // // exclude "servlet-api" // // } // plugins needed at runtime but not for compilation runtime ":hibernate:3.6.10.15" // or ":hibernate4:4.3.5.1" runtime ":database-migration:1.4.0" runtime ":jquery:1.11.1" runtime ":resources:1.2.8" ``` New sitemesh error ``` Error | 2014-06-03 14:41:32,304 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR [localhost].[/DocumentManagementSystem] - Exception starting filter sitemesh Message: org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.sitemesh.GrailsPageFilter Line | Method ->> 61 | findClass in org.grails.plugins.tomcat.ParentDelegatingClassLoader - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 425 | loadClass in java.lang.ClassLoader | 358 | loadClass in '' | 262 | run in java.util.concurrent.FutureTask | 1145 | runWorker in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor | 615 | run in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker ^ 744 | run . . . in java.lang.Thread Error | ```
