Not able to set value using HtmlUnitDriver + Geb

Question

I'm trying to fill a value in the text field and click a button using selenium + HtmlUnitDriver + Geb.

Following is my code

import geb.Browser;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
RoFlow {
 def browser = new Browser()
 browser.driver = new HtmlUnitDriver()
 Browser.drive {
     def websiteOpened = false
     go "http://www.google.com"
     websiteOpened = $(name: "q").isDisplayed()
     println websiteOpened  // printing true
     println $("input",name:"q")
        // printing [<input class="lst lst-tbb sbibps" id="lst-ib" maxlength="2048" name="q" autocomplete="off" title="Search" type="text" value="" aria-label="Search" />]
     $("input",name:"q").value("Groovy")  // throwing exception
     $("input",name:"btnG").click()

 }
}

when i run the above code, i'm getting the following exception

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlInput.setValueAttribute(Ljava/lang/String;)Lcom/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/Page;

geb - 0.13.1
selenium - 2.44.0
selenium-htmlunit-driver - 2.44.0

let me know if i'm doing anything wrong.

Check if $("input",name:"q") is actually finding the element or not? — Tarun Lalwani, Aug 10 '17 at 18:04
The error `java.lang.NoSuchMethodError` says it all. `HtmlUnitDriver` didn't open a session. — undetected Selenium, Aug 11 '17 at 05:14
Do yourself a favour and don't use htmlunit driver. It's extremely limited and not fit for testing modern, js heavy apps. — erdi, Aug 11 '17 at 06:34
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError mean you have an incompatible combination of the selenium html unit driver and the html unit driver itself. — RBRi, Aug 11 '17 at 07:54
@TarunLalwani,line println $("input",name:"q") in the code is printing the element as shown in the code — hprakash, Aug 11 '17 at 09:13
@DebanjanB, HtmlUnitDriver is able to find the elements, which means it is opening a session. — hprakash, Aug 11 '17 at 09:16
Please use latest version (with different maven `artifactId`), which is [2.27](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/htmlunit-driver) — Ahmed Ashour, Aug 12 '17 at 08:00
