Unable to load /env actuator endpoint in the app once plugin is used in the app

[dmahapatro]

Grails version: 3.1.9 Plugin Version: 2.0.1

Steps to recreate:

• Create a sample app
• Add the plugin to build.gradle
• Enable actuator endpoints in application.yml.
• ./gradlew bootRun
• visit http://localhost:8080/env

Enabling actuator endpoints in application.yml:

endpoints:
    enabled: true
    jmx:
        enabled: true
    env:
        sensitive: false

Reproduced.

Same issue reported by another one. spring-boot-actuator problem? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38195998/spring-boot-actuator-env-endpoint-response-malformed-when-closure-specified-in

Looks like it. But your fix will keep this plugin out of the radar. :) Thank you for the fix. I am preoccupied with bunch of other stuff otherwise I would have sent a PR after thorough testing. If possible please do a sanity check for other available actuator endpoints.

Tested the supposed fix, doesn't help :(

When I annotate AuditLogListener.grailsApplication with "@JsonIgnore", I get a different error when using JDK 1.7.0_79 in the audit-test application (Grails 3.0.10):

*** java.lang.instrument ASSERTION FAILED ***: "!errorOutstanding" with message transform method call failed at JPLISAgent.c line: 844

Is a Jackson error. We reported to https://github.com/grails/grails-core/issues/10279
