Maybe it's picking up a different version of groovy from the classpath? For quickly (5min vs 15min) getting a distribution to test with I like to use the "installGroovy" gradle task which builds a full dist in the "./target/install" directory and from there I can run commands from the bin or add jars from the embeddable (uber jar) or the lib directories.
