Grails 2.4.4 UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES cglib 2.2.2

Question

I am trying to upgrade a project to grails version 2.4.4 but it keep failing with the following error message:

:: problems summary ::
:::: WARNINGS

::          UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES         ::

:: cglib#cglib;2.2.2: configuration not found in cglib#cglib;2.2.2: 'compile'. It was required from org.grails#grails-plugin-testing;2.4.4 runtime
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Error |
Resolve error obtaining dependencies: Failed to resolve dependencies (Set log level to 'warn' in BuildConfig.groovy for more information):

Error |

|Run 'grails dependency-report' for further information.

This s kind of weird since the library is available. I can see it under grails-2.4.4\lib\cglib\cglib\jars and in my home directory under .grails\ivy-cache\cglib\cglib\jars

My GRAILS_HOME is set correctly and for what I can see all looks fine but when I do a refresh dependencies it keeps throwing this error.

In upgrading from Grails 2.1 to 2.4.4 I found I had that same issue. The resolution was to explicitly set:

grails.project.dependency.resolver = "maven"

in BuildConfig.groovy. Then I was able to move on to the next issue in the upgrade ... ;-)
