grails console execution error

Environment

• Grails 1.2.2
• Ubuntu 9.10
• IntelliJ 9.0.3

Everything works fine in IntelliJ. When I execute "grails console" in the project root I get the following

Error executing script Console: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Failed to parse template script (your template may contain an error or be trying to use expressions not currently su开发者_开发知识库pported): startup failed, SimpleTemplateScript1.groovy: 2: illegal string body character after dollar sign;                           
   solution: either escape a literal dollar sign "\$5" or bracket the value expression "${5}" @ line 2, column 10.                                                                                                  
1 error    

Figured it out! In the scaffolding directory the file "Controller.groovy" somehow made its way there. Removing this file solved the problem. Lesson learned - when seeing a template parsing error look closely at the templates directory.
