grails fail generated war (assets)

Question

i have a strange error when i generate war with grails war commande

| Processing File 53 of 1214 - yuiApplication/dial/assets/dial-core.css.
| Error WAR packaging error: /Users/sovlin/IdeaProjects/revelido/grails-app/assets/javascripts/yuiApplication/dial/assets (Is a directory)

I don't understand why this folder make problem. I check it but nothing of suspect. I test clean-clean without success. The run-app commande working.

Error with StackTrace

Thanks you for your help

Is it possible that you have a = require something in one of your assets where something is in fact a folder and not a file (perhaps somewhere where you really wanted to put require_tree)? Or, guessing from the error report, that you are including a background image or something similar that is really a folder (perhaps you forgot to add background.jpg) somewhere? Do you have any Javascript errors in your console complaining about missing files if you open the site in dev mode? — Gregor Petrin
thx for your answer but i not issus when my app running on the web browser. I can run it with run-app command but i can generate the war for product deployment. — Vsplit
I suggest you start removing plugins from the application like asset-pipeline, does it then build war without that plugin? You could also try creating a new empty grails app and slowly adding back in your application code to the empty project, building war each time you add to find the specific code that is causing it to fail. — fourgablesguy
@fourgablesguy I test your solution but unfortunately it's not work. I make an issue github.com/bertramdev/asset-pipeline/issues/… — Vsplit

It definitely has to do with a folder that is named as if it was a file that needs processing. Asset-Pipeline however should be correcting for this and I have modded core to ensure a check and make sure File is not a Directory. This is released in 2.0.18
