After migrating the application from Grails 3.3.11 to Grails 4.0.6, I am unable to run integration tests. When I tries to run integration test it throws error as:

On investigating future I found that
Reference : Upgrading from Grails 3.2.x
Grails Domain Class API Deprecated The legacy classes that represent domain classes and their properties have been deprecated in favor of the mapping context API.
The reason for this is to avoid duplicate parsing of the same class data between GORM and Grails and reduce overall startup time.
The internal implementation of the methods in those classes now delegates to the mapping context. Due to that change, information about your domain classes is not available until the application context is available.
In previous versions of Grails it was possible to access GrailsDomainClass instances and inspect the GrailsDomainClassProperty properties inside of the doWithSpring method in a plugin, for example.
If you have code that follows that example, an error will be thrown that looks like "The method … cannot be accessed before GORM has initialized". The solution is to move any logic that executes before the context is available to somewhere else that executes after the context is available.
All code that uses the GrailsDomainClass or GrailsDomainClassProperty classes should be re-written to use the mapping context api.
To get started, inject the grailsDomainClassMappingContext bean. See the api documentation for more information on the MappingContext, PersistentEntity (GrailsDomainClass), and PersistentProperty (GrailsDomainClassProperty).
