Why do Grails 3 unit tests throw StackOverflowError when run in GGTS (Eclipse)?

Question

Whenever I try to run any unit test in GGTS even as simple as:

void "Test"() {
    expect:
    true
}

I get StackOverflowError. I wonder if it has something to do with GrailsUnitTestMixin.

I've imported my Grails 3 project as a Gradle project in my IDE.

This is an issue with Grails 3.0.4/3.0.5. The fix will come with 3.0.6 release, which haven't been released yet at the time of writing.

In the meantime, anyone having problems with this can downgrade to 3.0.2 or 3.0.3, although 3.0.3 also has a bit of issue running unit tests in Eclipse, only not as critical as StackOverflowError. I suggest using 3.0.2 for now, though.
