Groovy/Grails Tool Suite not configuring build path to use Spock plugin

Question

I'd like to use the Spock plugin for my Grails project. The problem that I'm having is that GGTS doesn't configure the build path. So I can generate the following integration test in GGTS, but it will then complain about not being able to find the grails.plugin.spock.IntegrationSpec package.

package junk

import grails.plugin.spock.IntegrationSpec

class MyIntegrationTestSpec extends IntegrationSpec {
    def setup() {
    }

    def cleanup() {
    }

    void "test something"() {
    }
}

I've used both the Grails Plugin manager and editing the BuildConfig.groovy file (like the plugin documentation says to do). I've done a Grails Refresh Dependencies on my project. I even did a grails clean and grails compile. Nothing seems to work.

can you post your buildConfig, where you are adding the plugin? — Alidad

The Spock plugin page explains how to configure your BuildConfig.groovy:

grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
  repositories {
    grailsCentral()
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    test "org.spockframework:spock-grails-support:0.7-groovy-2.0"
  }
  plugins {
    test(":spock:0.7") {
      exclude "spock-grails-support"
    }
  }
}

After that you need to run:

grails compile --refresh-dependencies

Or in STS:

right click in the project > grails tools > refresh dependencies
