I have researched this extensively on the internet but haven't been able to find anything relevant to my situation.
I currently have a project with grails 2.5 and I am using the Intellij 14.1.3.
Since 14.1 Intellij allows the groovy eclipse compiler to be used. I downloaded the appropriate version (2.4.3) of the compiler to use in my project.
I get these errors in classes whenever I try to compile (and it only occurs in spock specs)

Followed by this further down in the stacktrace:

The errors seem quite straightfoward: a missing class. However if I switch back to the normal compiler, everything works fine.
