Error Executing Script when building with the Grails Jenkins plugin?

Question

When trying to do a compile of a simple Grails 2.1 application with Jenkins I am getting a failure with the for the following reason:

Error Error executing script Compile: startup failed: /tmp/jenkins-grails/projects/EskridgeBudget/scriptCache/_GrailsCompile_groovy.class (No such file or directory)

Further up the chain I get:

Could not load Logmanager "org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager"

Which may or may not be related.

I can build the same project from the command line on the same box successfully.

Version Info

• Grails command line version is Grails version: 2.1.1.
• Jenkins version is 1.492
• Grails Jenkins plugin version is 1.6.3

Make sure /tmp/jenkins-grails/ is a path that the Jenkins process has permissions to fiddle with. (and/or: when you run outside of Jenkins successfully, set the grails work directory in the same way, if you don't currently, to verify).
