Exception when running an app via Gradle (cannot find class for closure)

I am running my application with

apply plugin: 'application'

and receive an exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: xx/xx/LogParser$_parseFile_closure1

The same application (just a groovy file) works fine with Intellij Idea, when running with Gradle 1.6 I receive an exception in the following line:

processExceptionLine(line)

The exception stack is:

I did gradle clean, but didn’t help. But when I turn off the indy flag in my Groovy options everything worked. When I turned it on again, also everything worked. So I am rather confused now! Just wanted to tell this case here, I will watch this behavior closely in future. In the last I didn’t have any problems with indy flag.

Update: error comes occasionally again, turned of indy now for this skript.

Ok, the reason that IntelliJ Idea worked was that I didn’t use INDY in this build. So it is a Groovy and not a Gradle bug. I will file a Groovy bug, please close this topic.

Many thanks for the follow up.
