Grails 3.0.11 Forward With Custom Context

[jkwiz]

Forward appears to result in a 404 when setting 'server.contextPath' in application.yml. Reproducable in a new project by creating two controllers where one forwards to another. It works if you remove the contextPath.

gradle.properties:

grailsVersion=3.0.11
gradleWrapperVersion=2.3

application.yml:

server:
    port: 9001
    contextPath: /grails

FirstController.groovy

package forward
class FirstController {
    def index() {
        forward(controller: 'second', action: 'index')
    }
}

SecondController.groovy

package forward
class SecondController {
    def index() {
        render view: 'index'
    }
}

is this related ( #9455 )?? Don't think it should be though because it should take into consideration contextPath.

Still if it is, referencing here for devs.

Thanks - I saw that one but it seemed a bit different. I did some more digging and It looks like the request URI has the context path appended twice. The context path is appended a second time by the servlet, so perhaps it should not be included here:
