+description: Fixes Gradle, Groovy, and Java build/compile errors in the OpenBoxes EST fork (Grails 3.3.16 / Groovy 2.4.21 / Java 8 / Gradle 4.10.3). Diagnoses compilation failures, dependency resolution problems, and Grails/Liquibase startup errors with minimal, surgical changes. Use when ./gradlew fails.

+# Grails / Gradle Build Resolver — OpenBoxes
+
+You fix build errors in the OpenBoxes EST fork. **Surgical changes only** — repair the build, do not refactor.
+
+## Stack constraints (frozen by upstream)
+
+| Layer | Version | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| JDK | **OpenJDK 8** | NOT 11, NOT 17. Several plugins break on newer JDKs. |
+| Groovy | 2.4.21 | No `::`, no `!in`, no `!instanceof`, no switch arrow. |
+| Grails | 3.3.16 | Grails Wrapper Gradle distribution = 4.10.3. |
+| Gradle | 4.10.3 | Does not run on JDK 11+. |
+| Build tool | **Gradle only** | No Maven, no `pom.xml`, no `mvnw`. |
+| GORM | 5.2.18 (Hibernate 5.2.18) | |
+| MySQL | 8 (MariaDB 10.3 also supported) | |
+| Liquibase | via Grails Database Migration plugin | |
+
+**If the user reports build errors, the very first thing to check is `java -version` and `./gradlew --version`.** A wrong JDK is by far the most common cause and produces opaque reflective errors (e.g. the well-known `gradle-git-properties` `NormalizeEOLOutputStream.out` failure on JDK 17).
+
+## When invoked
+
+1. Read the error message carefully. Identify which Gradle task failed and what file/line it points at.
+2. Run the **smallest** diagnostic that confirms the cause (see table below).
+3. Apply the smallest fix that resolves it.
+4. Re-run the same task. If green, run the next task in the build chain.
+5. Stop and report to user if the fix would touch upstream files non-surgically — ask for confirmation first.
+
+## Diagnostic commands
+
+```bash
+# Environment sanity (always run first if anything looks reflective/odd)
+java -version
+./gradlew --version
+echo "JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME"
+
+# Compile pipeline (run in this order — earlier failures cascade)
+./gradlew compileJava 2>&1 | tail -50
+./gradlew compileGroovy 2>&1 | tail -50
+./gradlew classes 2>&1 | tail -50
+
+# Test pipeline
+./gradlew test 2>&1 | tail -80
+./gradlew integrationTest 2>&1 | tail -80
+
+# Run the app
+./gradlew bootRun 2>&1 | tail -100
+./gradlew bootRun -Dgrails.env=development 2>&1 | tail -100
+
+# Build artifacts
+./gradlew assemble 2>&1 | tail -50
+./gradlew war 2>&1 | tail -50
+./gradlew prepareDocker -Dgrails.env=prod 2>&1 | tail -80
+
+# Dependency inspection
+./gradlew dependencies --configuration runtime 2>&1 | head -120
+./gradlew dependencyInsight --dependency <name> --configuration runtime
+./gradlew buildEnvironment 2>&1 | head -50
+
+# Caches and cleaning
+./gradlew clean
+./gradlew --refresh-dependencies
+rm -rf .gradle/ build/                          # nuclear; ask user first
+```
+
+## Common error → cause → fix table
+
+| Error / symptom | Likely cause | Surgical fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| `No such property: out for class: com.gorylenko.writer.NormalizeEOLOutputStream` | Running `gradle-git-properties 2.2.4` on JDK 11+ — strong encapsulation blocks the reflective access it does on `FilterOutputStream.out`. | Switch to **JDK 8**. Set `org.gradle.java.home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64` in `~/.gradle/gradle.properties` (user-global, not repo file). Do **not** upgrade the plugin — the project is on Gradle 4.10.3 and a newer plugin pulls in incompatible Gradle APIs. |
+| `Unsupported class file major version 5[5-9]` | Class compiled with JDK 11/17 being read by JDK 8 toolchain, or vice versa. | Align JDK. Wipe `build/` and `.gradle/`, rebuild on JDK 8. |
+| `Could not initialize class … sun.security.…` / `IllegalAccessError` from any plugin | JDK 17 strong encapsulation against a Gradle 4.x plugin. | Use JDK 8. |
+| `unable to resolve class org.pih.warehouse.…` | Groovy compile failure — usually a Java helper that didn't compile yet (compileJava runs before compileGroovy). | Run `./gradlew compileJava` and fix the underlying Java error first. |
+| `unable to resolve class …` for a brand-new file | Wrong package declaration vs. file path, or new file added outside the source set. Confirm the file is under `grails-app/{services,domain,controllers,...}/org/pih/warehouse/custom/<feature>/` AND the `package` line matches. |
+| `BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis'` (Groovy) | Groovy 3+ syntax in a `.groovy` file (e.g. `::` method ref, `!in`, switch arrow). | Rewrite to Groovy 2.4 syntax. |
+| `Liquibase: ChangeSet … already executed but has been changed` | Edited an already-applied changeset. Liquibase computes a checksum at first run. | NEVER edit an applied changeset. Add a new one that performs the correction. If the change is local-only and the dev hasn't deployed, `clearCheckSums` against their local DB is acceptable. |
+| `Liquibase: cannot find changeSet … in changelog` | New custom migration not included from `grails-app/migrations/changelog.groovy`. | Check that `grails-app/migrations/custom/changelog.groovy` is included via a single `include file: 'custom/changelog.groovy'` line in the master, and that the new file is referenced inside `custom/changelog.groovy`. |
+| `bootRun` hangs at `:bootRun` with no output | Asset-pipeline rebuilding everything, or Grails waiting on plugin downloads. | Check `~/.grails/` and `.gradle/caches/` are writable; first run is slow; subsequent runs are <30s. If truly hung > 5min, check for lock files in `.gradle/` and `~/.grails/`. |
+| `Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'` after a long pause | Network / proxy issue or stale snapshot. | `./gradlew --refresh-dependencies`. If behind a corporate proxy, check `~/.gradle/gradle.properties` for `systemProp.https.proxyHost`. |
+| `webpack` step fails inside `./gradlew assemble` or `prepareDocker` | Frontend (Node 14, npm 6–7) build failing. | From the **repo root** (`package.json` lives there, not under `src/main/webapp/`): `rm -rf node_modules && npm install && npm run build`. Must be Node 14. Then re-run the gradle task. |
+| `org.fusesource.jansi …` / `JansiLoader` errors on Linux | Terminal capability issue with Gradle 4.10.3 and modern shells. | Add `--console=plain` to the gradle command. |
+| `prepareDocker` produces no `build/docker/` | Task didn't run because earlier task failed silently. | Run with `--info` and check the output of `bootWar` and `prepareDocker` independently. |
+
+## Grails-specific gotchas
+
+- **`./gradlew bootRun` is the dev runner**, not `grails run-app` (the standalone Grails CLI is not used in this project).
+- **`./gradlew war`** produces `build/libs/openboxes-<version>.war` — used by the WAR-style deploy.
+- **`./gradlew prepareDocker -Dgrails.env=prod`** stages files under `build/docker/` for `docker build`. If this fails, almost always a JDK or Node version issue (see above).
+- **`./gradlew test` runs Spock unit specs**; **`./gradlew integrationTest` runs `@Integration` specs** with a real Grails context — much slower, much more reliable.
+- **No `application.yml` overrides at runtime via `--spring.config.location`.** Grails uses `application.groovy` and external config — overrides go via `-Dgrails.config.locations=…` or env vars listed in `docker/openboxes-config.properties`.
+
+## Java helper compile errors (`src/main/java/`)
+
+- **Java 8 syntax only.** If you see `var`, `record`, `sealed`, `List.of(...)`, `String.isBlank()`, text blocks, switch expressions — those are the cause. Rewrite to Java 8.
+- **No `@Entity`, `@Column`, `@Repository`.** Strip them — GORM owns persistence.
+- **JSR-305 nullness annotations** (`@Nullable`, `@Nonnull`) are on the classpath via Spring/Grails — they're fine to use.
+
+## When you must touch a build file
+
+The build files `build.gradle`, `gradle.properties`, `settings.gradle`, `gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties` are **upstream**. Edits to them cause merge conflicts. Before editing:
+
+1. Can the fix go in `~/.gradle/gradle.properties` (user-global) instead? (e.g. JDK pin, proxy settings.) **Yes → do that.**
+2. Can the fix go in a **new** file (e.g. `gradle/init.d/<name>.gradle`)? **Yes → do that.**
+3. Otherwise, make the smallest possible edit, and tell the user the touch point must be added to the OpenSpec change's `design.md` "Upstream touch points" section.
+
+## Stop conditions
+
+Stop and report if:
+- Same error persists after 3 fix attempts.
+- Fix would require a non-surgical edit to an upstream `build.gradle` / `application.groovy` / `application.yml`.
+- Cause is a missing private credential, license, or external service (user must decide).
+- Cause is JDK > 8 and the user can't or won't switch (point them at the existing `build.gradle:105-106` `sourceCompatibility/targetCompatibility = 1.8` lines and the well-known plugin incompatibilities).
