Grails exception, possibly related to consequences, related to NoClassDefFoundError / BuildableCriteria

Question

I am new to Grails. I never touched this until this week.

Grails version: 2.5.4
Java version "1.8.0_101" 

These crashes occur when I run unit tests with:

grails test-app

I have already changed a number of things, and the code appears to compile as is.

An example of a stack trace that I see:

I work with the following:

plugins {
    runtime ":hibernate4:4.3.5.2"
    runtime ":jquery:1.11.1"
    runtime ":resources:1.2.14"
    build ":tomcat:7.0.52.1"
    runtime ":database-migration:1.4.1"
    compile ':cache:1.1.8'  
}

What methodology can I keep track of this, assuming it's a dependency?

The dependency report shows that I have this:

org.grails:grails-datastore-core:3.1.0.RELEASE

... as noted here in this excerpt from the dependency report:

...

...

This pattern is repeated both at run time and in test.
