Description

The use of @Grapes/@Grab to get spock-core libraries v1.2 for Groovy v2.5 causes an exception due to version mismatch of groovy-nio module.

Execute the following script with groovy:

@Grab('org.spockframework:spock-core:1.2-groovy-2.5')
class TestX extends spock.lang.Specification {
   def 'test method'() {
   }
}

2. Observe the following output:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
{{ General error during conversion: Conflicting module versions. Module [groovy-nio is loaded in version 2.5.3 and you are trying to load version 2.5.2}}groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Conflicting module versions.

Since I am not sure if this is a Groovy or Spock issue, I have reported the same issue to Spock (https://github.com/spockframework/spock/issues/943)
