initializationError running junit test with SpringJUnit4ClassRunner after moving or deleting a class

Often, when I move or delete a Class, I got an initializationError running junit test with SpringJUnit4ClassRunner after moving or deleting a class.

Exception:

My test class look like:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {Configuration.class})
@DirtiesContext(classMode = DirtiesContext.ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD)
public class SomeTests {
...

I run my test with gradle task cleanTest test

I tried to invalidate and restart IntelliJ cache by it didn't help.

How could I get rid of this exception ?

The solution was quite easy.

gradle clean

Some way, gradle was keeping a wrong reference to the old class emplacement.
