your grails lib folder has groovy version depends on. installs on machine:

grails-2.3.7/lib/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy-all/jars/groovy-all-2.1.9.jar grails-2.4.0/lib/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy-all/jars/groovy-all-2.3.1.jar grails-2.4.3/lib/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy-all/jars/groovy-all-2.3.6.jar grails-2.4.4/lib/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy-all/jars/groovy-all-2.3.7.jar grails-3.0.8/lib/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy/groovy-2.4.4.pom grails-3.1.3/lib/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy/groovy-2.4.6.pom 

so, need go @ least grails 2.4.x
