Add postgresql to grails 2.3.4 - postgresql

Question

I have added the postgresql plugin from the grails page to my Buildconfig.groovy.
This is how the file looks like:
grails.servlet.version = "3.0" // Change depending on target container compliance (2.5 or 3.0)
grails.project.class.dir = "target/classes"
grails.project.test.class.dir = "target/test-classes"
grails.project.tet.reports.dir = "target/test-reports"
grails.project.work.dir = "target/work"
grails.project.target.level = 1.6
grails.project.source.level = 1.6
//grails.project.war.file = "target/${appName}-${appVersion}.war"
grails.project.fork = [
// configure settings for compilation JVM, note that if you alter the Groovy version forked compilation is required
// compile: [maxMemory: 256, minMemory: 64, debug: false, maxPerm: 256, daemon:true],
// configure settings for the test-app JVM, uses the daemon by default
test: [maxMemory: 768, minMemory: 64, debug: false, maxPerm: 256, daemon:true],
// configure settings for the run-app JVM
run: [maxMemory: 768, minMemory: 64, debug: false, maxPerm: 256, forkReserve:false],
// configure settings for the run-war JVM
war: [maxMemory: 768, minMemory: 64, debug: false, maxPerm: 256, forkReserve:false],
// configure settings for the Console UI JVM
console: [maxMemory: 768, minMemory: 64, debug: false, maxPerm: 256]
]
grails.project.dependency.resolver = "maven" // or ivy
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
// inherit Grails' default dependencies
inherits("global") {
// specify dependency exclusions here; for example, uncomment this to disable ehcache:
// excludes 'ehcache'
}
log "error" // log level of Ivy resolver, either 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug' or 'verbose'
checksums true // Whether to verify checksums on resolve
legacyResolve false // whether to do a secondary resolve on plugin installation, not advised and here for backwards compatibility
repositories {
inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins
grailsPlugins()
grailsHome()
mavenLocal()
grailsCentral()
mavenCentral()
// uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable remote dependency resolution from public Maven repositories
//mavenRepo "http://repository.codehaus.org"
//mavenRepo "http://download.java.net/maven/2/"
//mavenRepo "http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/"
}
dependencies {
// specify dependencies here under either 'build', 'compile', 'runtime', 'test' or 'provided' scopes e.g.
// runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.24'
}
plugins {
// plugins for the build system only
build ":tomcat:7.0.47"
// plugins for the compile step
compile ":scaffolding:2.0.1"
compile ':cache:1.1.1'
compile ":postgresql-extensions:0.6.1"
// plugins needed at runtime but not for compilation
runtime ":hibernate:3.6.10.6" // or ":hibernate4:4.1.11.6"
runtime ":database-migration:1.3.8"
runtime ":jquery:1.10.2.2"
runtime ":resources:1.2.1"
// Uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable additional resources capabilities
//runtime ":zipped-resources:1.0.1"
//runtime ":cached-resources:1.1"
//runtime ":yui-minify-resources:0.1.5"
}
}
However when I run grails compile I get the output:

What is wrong with my installation process?
I really appreciate your answer!
Update
I have added this to my BuildConfig.groovy:
compile (":postgresql-extensions:0.6.1") {
excludes "hibernate"
}
However, I still get the same exceptions...
Update 2
This is how my BuildConfig.groovy looks now:

Answer 1

You need to add the postgresql-jdbc driver to your BuildConfig. Your dependencies section should look like this:
dependencies {
runtime 'org.postgresql:postgresql:9.3-1100-jdbc41'
}
Then it should compile.
