Description

I've got this weird ClassNotFoundException with Groovy 3.0.5 and above when a test class tries to reuse an abstract class from the main sources:

This branch as you can see from the build log of TravisCI, reproduces the error:

https://travis-ci.org/github/rkrisztian/search/jobs/734837733

Which goes away if I downgrade Groovy to 3.0.3.

Could you please help me find out why?

Note: not urgent, it's my hobby project. But I'll keep the branch until the issue is fixed.
