Actually the quality build is still failing on the CI server (but not locally for me):
*Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't add different class with same name: org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/DefaultGroovyMethods* That's quite possibly also Gradle 4 related. I'll take a deeper look when I get time but if anyone else is getting the error, please let me know. Cheers, Paul.
