Is this a bug for grails 3 ? or I make something wrong ?

This problem has been fixed in grails 3.0.4.

But you still have to apply the hibernate dependency fix. I'll describe it here to make the answer more helpful to others (based on this bug-report):

Add a hibernate dependency to buildscript.dependencies section of your build.gradle so it looks like this:

buildscript {
    // ...
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.grails:grails-gradle-plugin:$grailsVersion"
        classpath 'com.bertramlabs.plugins:asset-pipeline-gradle:2.1.1'

        // add this line
        classpath 'org.grails.plugins:hibernate:4.3.10.4'
    }
}
