Example Grails 3.0.4 app to test problems with joda-time support in unit tests

This project as one unit test and an identical integration test.

In the test, a criteria query is used that tests a DateTime field of the Book domain class.

The unit test reports java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - that pubDate isn't a field of Book.

The integration test passes.

To run

gradle test ; gradle integrationTest

Joda-time and Jadira usertype versions

According to issue grails 11388, this same behaviour was exhibited with Grails 2.3.8, but that downgrading to joda-time 1.4 and Jadira usertypes 2.0.1 was the work-around.

The downgrades don't appear to work in Grails 3.0.4.

You can toggle the comments on these dependencies in build.gradle to try this.
