Unit Test fails with GrailsConfigurationException - cannot find responsible line of code

I am writing unit tests for my Grails 3.0.3 application with standard spock framework. Everything as scaffolded by 

grails create-app

I created my unit test with 

grails create-unit-test

Added manually @TestFor annotation and test logics. I get 

mypackage.MyClassSpec > test myMethod method FAILED
org.grails.core.exceptions.GrailsConfigurationException

GIST of My test class (generalized and simplified)

There is no line number in stacktrace after running 

grails test-app --stacktrace

How can I find out what is causing this exception?

The TestFor annotation is used to test Grails artefacts (yes, that's how it's spelled in the source code).

The TestFor annotation defines the class under test and will automatically create a field for the type of class under test. For example in the above case a "controller" field will be present, however if TestFor was defined for a service a "service" field would be created and so on.

The class you were testing is a plain Groovy class, not a Grails controller, service, etc. So, BAM! You got an awkward exception.
