grails-gradle-plugin-archived Javassist Enhancement failed error message when running test task

I get an error message when I try to run the test task in a project with at least one domain class (I get the same error for every domain class in the project). The tests do in fact run though:

A minimal build.gradle file to reproduce the issue:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.grails:grails-gradle-plugin:2.1.0"
    }
}

version "0.1"
group "com.craigburke.gradle"

apply plugin: "grails"

repositories {
    jcenter()
    grails.central()
}

grails {
    grailsVersion = '2.4.3'
    groovyVersion = '2.3.6'
}

dependencies {
    bootstrap 'org.grails.plugins:tomcat:7.0.55'
    runtime('org.grails.plugins:hibernate4:4.3.5.5') {
                exclude module: 'xml-apis'
        }
}

After adding the domain class Foo.groovy to a newly initialized grails project then I get the above error

package com.craigburke.gradle

class Foo {
    String bar
}

I can send along the full example project if that would be helpful.

Removing asset-pipeline dependency. It's necessary for the grails-run-app task but the issue still remains on the test task without it. Hopefully that helps narrow down any dependency issue.

It looks like it comes from the hibernate4 plugin...as soon as I remove that the error goes away.

is there a global exclude in Grails that we are missing?

Aug 19 '14 14:08 johnrengelman

FYI. This may be related to known issues mentioned in the release notes.

Recently, I was able to convert an app (v2.4.2) from maven to gradle using this plugin successfully. I am using 4.3.5.5 version of hibernate4

@dmahapatro so the FreshRuntime annotation on your tests resolved this for you or did you have to do something else?

Aug 19 '14 15:08 craigburke

No, I am using 2.4.2 and did not use any of @FreshRuntime or @DirtiesRuntime. One way to confirm this, is if you can use Grails 2.4.2 and see if you still get the same issue. @craigburke. With that the groovyVersion downgrades to 2.3.3

Aug 19 '14 15:08 dmahapatro

@dmahapatro I gave that a try, same result unfortunately.

Aug 19 '14 15:08 craigburke

I am thoroughly confused. If I add -PgrailsArgs="--stacktrace" to the Gradle command then I don't get the error.

Aug 19 '14 15:08 johnrengelman

@johnrengelman ok that's just weird.

Aug 19 '14 15:08 craigburke

@johnrengelman -PgrailsArgs="--stacktrace"still gives me the error actually.

Aug 19 '14 16:08 craigburke

This is what I'm running:

$ rm -r build buildPlugins && gradle grails-test-app -PgrailsEnv=test -PgrailsArgs="--stacktrace"

can you post your entire project somewhere so I'm looking at exactly the same thing?
