We have noticed the same issue with 2.5.0 and have reverted back to 2.4.4.

this looks like 2 versions of Groovy on the classpath, can you post the output of mvn dependency:tree?

I've only one grails version installed with gvm

[Kanishkaz]

Any updates on this issue?

[skufle]

I can see that the 2.4.5 version of the plugin on Github was updated to use the new Groovy version, but it's not available through the central Maven repository yet?

[bassmartin]

It would be really nice if a newer version of the plugin could be released to fix that issue. Thanks.

[graemerocher]

I have released 2.4.6 which addresses this and works with 2.5.1

It may take a little while to sync with Maven central.
