Grails 2.5.2 automatically running upgrade script before running commands

Question

When trying to start any Grails task, its getting failed due to following upgrade call which is not available with grails 2.5.2?

Following is the build log:

How can i remove call to automatic call upgrade script ?

OK. It looks like Grails 2.5.2 contains a bug - it introduces itself as 2.5.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT(https://github.com/grails/grails-core/issues/9349). Try upgrading to 2.5.3, or set the version in grails-2.5.2/build.properties

Hi,

The version is properly set in application.properties like:
app.grails.version=2.5.2
Even manually set down but didn't work.
Could you tell how bamboo decides to call upgrade script automatically?

I think this happens (and I am not saying this is a correct behaviour) because Bamboo detects a mismatch between the version of Grails you use and the one declared in your app.

Try fixing it by setting app.grails.version in application.properties file. You can do it manually in your code or via a script task started before your Grails task.
