Resources not resolving when grails.assets.mapping: static

[jglapa]

The console stops working when I set

grails:
  assets:
    mapping: static

all the css and js resources are resulting in a 404

Due to some legacy setup I really would like to reconfigure the assets plugin to use the static instead of the default assets mapping.
Is there a way to fix that in console?

grails 3.2.6
console 2.0.8

BTW.
Console plugin doesn't leverage the assets-pipeline for serving resources?
