FIXED
Hi all, I have it working now. Turns out I was missing the Groovy plugin (thanks Peter). See answer below. Original post left for reference.
We are new to grails and all things gradle. I’ve tried the simplest case I can find to use gradle to build our grails app, yet no matter what command I try (except ironically “createWrapper” which worked but has not helped) I get:
$ gradle test Dynamic properties are deprecated: http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.plugins.ExtraPropertiesExtension.html Deprecated dynamic property: "grailsVersion" on "root project 'IMPACT'", value: "2.0.4". :test FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':test'. > groovy/lang/GroovyObject * Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. BUILD FAILED Total time: 4.867 secs
It makes no difference which command I use, the output is always the same.
Gradle build.gradle file is as follows:
ext.grailsVersion = '2.0.4'
task createWrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '1.0'
}
buildscript {
repositories {
maven {
url 'http://repo.grails.org/grails/core/'
}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'org.grails:grails-gradle-plugin:1.1.1-SNAPSHOT',
"org.grails:grails-bootstrap:2.0.4"
}
}
apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin: 'grails'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'http://repo.grails.org/grails/core/' }
maven { url 'http://repo.grails.org/grails/plugins/' }
}
dependencies {
compile "org.grails:grails:2.0.4",
"org.grails:grails-core:2.0.4",
"org.grails:grails-hibernate:2.0.4",
"org.grails:grails-logging:2.0.4",

"org.grails.plugins:spring-security-core:1.2.7.3",
"org.grails.plugins:spring-security-ldap:1.0.6"
}
Environment is: JDK 1.7.0_05, groovy 1.8.6, grails 2.0.4, gradle 1.0, Mac Os X 10.7.4.

Any pointers or comments greatly appreciated.

Bad news – the file below partially fixes the problem by letting the tests run, but fails when packaging the build into a WAR. I can only presume there is a missing dependency in the grails or groovy sections. I’ve got a much simpler working version at the bottom, which works locally for both testing and packaging. Unfortunately it still does not work with the latest Jenkins plugin.
Thank you Peter Ledbrook and Peter Niederwieser for your help resolving my issue.
Corrected gradle file is:The following file allows the tests to run (gradle test) but fails with the same error during packaging (gradle war):A simple file that works locally is:
There is probably a better way – but I can’t work it out!
