A component required a bean named '' that could not be found

Question

I'm trying to build my first grails application using grails-spring-security-rest plugin following this post's instructions.

However, when I try to run the application it gives me the following output:

Consider defining a bean named '' in your configuration.

UPDATE 1

I have added following lines to logback.groovy

logger("org.springframework.security", DEBUG, ['STDOUT'], false)
logger("grails.plugin.springsecurity", DEBUG, ['STDOUT'], false)
logger("org.pac4j", DEBUG, ['STDOUT'], false)

Yet, the console output and stacktrace.log file have the same output as posted above

I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this error.

Spring libraries are usually very good about giving you informative stack traces. That does not appear to be the case here. Maybe you can lower the logging level to get better info? — BalRog, May 09 '17 at 16:15

Finally, I was able to fix the problem:

Issue 1: I created User Role and UserRole classes manually instead of using

grails s2-quickstart com.app-name User Role

as described here

Issue 2: I used the wrong format for chainMap filters. Here is the one that worked for me

grails.plugin.springsecurity.filterChain.chainMap = [
    [pattern: '/assets/**',      filters: 'none'],
    [pattern: '/**/js/**',       filters: 'none'],
    [pattern: '/**/css/**',      filters: 'none'],
    [pattern: '/**/images/**',   filters: 'none'],
    [pattern: '/**/favicon.ico', filters: 'none'],
    [pattern: '/api/**',    filters: 'JOINED_FILTERS,-exceptionTranslationFilter,-authenticationProcessingFilter,-securityContextPersistenceFilter'], // Stateless chain
    [pattern: '/data/**',   filters: 'JOINED_FILTERS,-exceptionTranslationFilter,-authenticationProcessingFilter,-securityContextPersistenceFilter'], // Stateless chain
    [pattern: '/**',        filters: 'JOINED_FILTERS,-restTokenValidationFilter,-restExceptionTranslationFilter']   // Traditional chain
]

Field springSecurityService in com.form.application.UserPasswordEncoderListener required a bean of type 'grails.plugin.springsecurity.SpringSecurityService' that could not be found.

Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'grails.plugin.springsecurity.SpringSecurityService' in your configuration still getting this issue

A component required a bean named '' that could not be found
