Try this:

repositories {
    inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins

    grailsPlugins()
    grailsHome()
    mavenLocal()
    grailsCentral()
    mavenCentral()

    mavenRepo "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"
    
}

Works perfectly for me.

Seems to be an issue resolving the dependencies needed for your project.

In BuildConfig.groovy, if you have a repository that contains the dependencies, reference it like so:

repositories {
    inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins

    mavenRepo "http://example.:8081/this/that/other/public/"
}

Alternatively, try changing the dependency resolver to ivy rather than maven. I think this makes grails try to get its dependencies from it's own libraries.... I could be very wrong.

grails.project.dependency.resolver = "ivy"

changing it to the ivy resolver fixed it for me, it's not the recommended option for the future tho – Arturo Sep 08 '18 at 17:52
It helps me too (changing to ivy), thanks! – Vladimir Mar 28 '22 at 16:01

Can you please try in a BuildConfig.groovy

dependencies {  
 provided('xalan:xalan:2.7.1')
}

and see it will help you or not !...
