I am migrating my project from grails 3 to grails 4. while doing a bootrun, I encounter the below error: Not sure if it is some deprecated import or method instantiation

The error also points out to a file where there is this line:

def restBuilder = new RestBuilder()   // import grails.plugins.rest.client.RestBuilder

  • "Not sure if it is some deprecated import or method instantiation"- It isn't a deprecated import and there is no such thing as method instantiation in Java. The problem is a reference to a class that does not exist on your classpath (that class was deprecated at one point). Which version of `RestBuilder` are you pulling into the app? (not your question but FYI... there are better options than `RestBuilder` in recent versions of Grails). – Jeff Scott Brown Nov 03 '20 at 14:34
  • using this:compile 'org.grails:grails-datastore-rest-client:5.0.0.RC2 – Tejaswini P N Nov 03 '20 at 16:55
  • Does `org.grails:grails-datastore-rest-client:6.1.12.RELEASE` work for you? – Jeff Scott Brown Nov 03 '20 at 17:01
  • @JeffScottBrown it works now after changing the plugin version! thanks a lotttt!! :) – Tejaswini P N Nov 04 '20 at 08:57
