DefaultConstraintEvaluatorFactoryBean not Autowired

[musketyr]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Grails 4.0.2+ application
2. Import Micronaut Grails
3. Run the application

Expected Behaviour

The application starts without any problems. Any Spring Boot autoconfiguration is not breaking the app.

Actual Behaviour

The application fails with the error below.

I have checked the https://github.com/erichelgeson/grails-versions/compare/4.0.1...4.0.2 for any Spring related major updates which could break the behaviour but I can see only patches ones.

Environment Information

• Operating System: Darwin
• Grails Version: 4.0.2
• JDK Version: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.212-b10, mixed mode)

Example Application

• https://github.com/musketyr/mn-grails-g404

Run with gw bootRun -PgrailsVersion=4.0.2 to see it failing

[musketyr]

one can work this around by removing scaffolding plugin from the dependencies as the fields plugin is somehow linked to the issue

[olavgg]

I just upgraded to Grails 5 and had the same failure, removing the scaffolding plugin solved this.
