I think I found something similar happening with Java tests - and I found the reason too. Test classes don't have to be public, with the new Java jupiter junit unit testing framework. If your test class is package private, and named XYZ, it is perfectly legal to have no other class in the file ABC.java, for the compiler. But when you try to run the test, Eclipse looks for test methods on the class ABC - which has no implementation anywhere. So the test fails with that message. I don't know if it's something similar with groovy. But might also be related to how Eclipse identifies the test methods to run.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
