Cannot invoke method getText() on null object - shellJsResource

[kevinsheehan]

I just started a new Grails 3 project and have been attempting to utilize this plugin. I can't get past this exception though. It appears that Grails is failing to locate the resources that are expected to be initialized?

Using: Grails 3.1.7, Groovy 2.4.6 Plugin version: 2.0.7

ERROR org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Tomcat].[localhost].[/].[grailsDispatcherServlet] - Servlet.service() for servlet [grailsDispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception

[peh]

hey, will look into it over the weekend. not sure why this is happening

[kevinsheehan]

Could it have something to do with:

def shellJsResource = classLoader.getResource('asset/pipeline/babel/shell.js')

Because the resource appears to be in babel/asset/pipeline instead?

[peh]

yep. that should be it. just running the specs will publish in a minute

[peh]

specs are green. released it as 2.0.8. thanks for the find!
