I have working maven 2 setup which compiles jUnit tests written in groovy. Both java and groovy tests are located at /src/test/java
See a snapshot of the pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>testCompile</id>
<goals>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<sources>
<fileset>
<directory>${pom.basedir}/src/test/java</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*.groovy</include>
</includes>
</fileset>
</sources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
<artifactId>groovy</artifactId>
<version>1.7.5</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
When I upgrade to plugin version 1.5 and groovy 2.1.0, */.groovy files are ignored. Has anybody met up with this problem?
I found this page https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CLOVER/Compiling+Groovy+with+GMaven+plugin
Note that you must put your Groovy Classes and Tests under src/main/groovy
and src/test/groovy
respectively.
Following configuration based on that page seems to work:
<!-- Groovy and Maven https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CLOVER/Compiling+Groovy+with+GMaven+plugin -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${gmaven.version}</version>
<configuration>
<providerSelection>2.0</providerSelection>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven.runtime</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-runtime-2.0</artifactId>
<version>${gmaven.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
<artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
<version>${groovy.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>generateStubs</goal>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>generateTestStubs</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
And in dependencies of course
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
<artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
<version>${groovy.version}</version>
</dependency>
And in properties
<properties>
<gmaven.version>1.5</gmaven.version>
<groovy.version>2.1.8</groovy.version>
</properties>
Ok, this configuration works for maven 2.
<plugin>

I experience the same problem, but downgrading to gmaven 1.4 solves the problem (using groovy-all 2.3.2)
First, each GMaven provider compiles against a particular version of Groovy, so there can be issues if Groovy breaks something with a point release. Second, GMaven is no longer maintained (that's why you don't see any providers for newer Groovy versions). I recommend switching to GMavenPlus or the Groovy-Eclipse compiler plugin for Maven.
