Grails 2.0.4/2.1.1 test-app throws ClassNotFoundException (GrailsSpecTestType)

I have a legacy grails appliction that I recentyl upgraded 1.3.7 -> 2.0.4 The same thing happens after I upgrade it to 2.1.1

When I try to run test-app from GGTS I get:

| Error Error executing script TestApp: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: grails.plugin.spock.test.GrailsSpecTestType (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)

There is a similiar report from April on SS site.

I also see there are a lot of questions about similiar exceptions for grails 1.3.7 -- this however is a problem affecting 2.0.4.

EDIT: OK, it actually happens in command line too, but at least I can get it to work. Unfortunately after a restart it breaks again.

Here is what I do to fix it in console, basically I upgrade to 0.7 and the downgrade to 0.5-groovy-1.7

So this is apparently caused by some misbehaving plugin exporting it's spock dependency. Sample workaround if your troublemaker is GWT:

compile(':gwt:0.8') {
exclude 'spock'
}
