ScalaTest with Groovy in Jenkins

Question

I'm trying to build a scala project with groovy and jenkins. The unit tests are working locally but not on jenkins.

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'scala'



repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'junit:junit:4.11',
            'org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.11.1',
            'com.github.nscala-time:nscala-time_2.10:1.0.0'

    testCompile 'org.scalatest:scalatest_2.11:2.1.6',
        'org.scalautils:scalautils_2.11:2.1.6',
        'org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.11.1'
}

compileTestScala << {
    classpath= classpath.asPath + ":" + compileScala.destinationDir
}

test << {
    ant.taskdef(
            name: 'scalatest',
            classname: 'org.scalatest.tools.ScalaTestAntTask',
            classpath: classpath.asPath
    )

    print(classpath.asPath)

    ant.scalatest(
            runpath: testClassesDir,
            haltonfailure: 'true',
            fork: 'false') {
        reporter(type: 'stderr')
    }
}

Log

:compileTestScala
[ant:taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource scala/tools/ant/antlib.xml. It could not be found.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':compileTestScala'.
Cause: Problem: failed to create task or type scalac
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any / declarations have taken place.


* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':compileTestScala'.

The build server had an older version of gradle installed. Had to install the newest version by hand and then it worked
