ERROR context.GrailsContextLoader - Error initializing Grails: Error creating bean with name 'grailsApplication'

Question

I use grails 2.3.11 version with JDK 1.8_0_131, my project build correctly in my pc and works also when I deploy to my server, but the problem is the same version I checkout to my another pc, it gives the error when I deploy to my server:

Grails 2.5 is the first version of Grails for which we support Java 1.8.
