    I remember a bug opened for this. The workaround is to run the grails command `stop-app` –  Nov 09 '13 at 13:15

    even after the stop-app command, the processes are not stopped. The stop button is disabled – CSR Nov 09 '13 at 13:25
  • I have the same problem, I have to exit GGTS, kill the java process, then restart, a process which takes several minutes each time. – John Little Mar 02 '14 at 23:57

Comment the grails.project.fork = [ .. ] part of your BuildConfig.groovy file.

This part enables running run-app, test-app and war in different threads(so you don't have to stop one to start the other), and it seems ggts isn't successfully destroying the thread right now.

For reference, here is the related issue in the ggts bug tracker https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-3522

Can you try to disable the "Keep external Grails running" option in Eclipse Preferences -> Groovy -> Grails -> Grails Launcher?

Unchecking the "Keep external Grails running" does not work for me. What I do is to hit the "Grails Command History" icon and type "stopApp" (or pick stopApp if previously typed). Once this commands finishes executing, then you can stop the Grails application using the stop button.

  • I am on Windows and stopApp works for me. If I run my app on multiple ports etc., like mine - I had to write a small custom script to end my processes i.e. java.exe etc. – user1811107 Nov 21 '13 at 00:46

Using Groovy Grails Tool Suite GGTS 3.4.0 on windows 64x. For my simple projects, the stop button works. For a bigger complex project, it does not. I use the "stop-app" (opposite of "run-app"). See: 2.8 Running an Application in the getting started guide. I think that in older versions of Grails ( < 2.x something) you had to create your own "stop-app" script. I think the newer 2.3.x has it built in.
