Grails 4 project gets error when built against plugin v.5.0 Failed to initialize class [com.demo.DemoController] about grails-cache HOT 4 CLOSED

@amasr It seems my PR where I removed pluginExcludes did produce this error as this property seems to be still used when generating the grails-plugin.xml file.
I think it should be sufficient to revert CacheGrailsPlugin.groovy back to the previous state: https://github.com/grails/grails-cache/blob/be6cefecaf954df6430ce9aefc6949d76208fde6/src/main/groovy/grails/plugin/cache/CacheGrailsPlugin.groovy

Sorry for the trouble!

@joelbard We had the same problem and fixed as a temporary workaround by rollingback to version 5.0.0.RC1.
It was tricky to find because cached gradle deps weren't failing, it was from the CI that we step into it, and then with --refresh-dependencies flag to reproduce it.
could it be something missing in the bulid.gradle or grails-plugin.xml (excludePagackes) ?
grails/grails-core#9416

Looking at .../src/main/groovy/grails/plugin/CacheGrailsPlugin.groovy looks like it is missing
def pluginExcludes = [ "**/com/demo/*", grails-app/views/**, **/*.gsp ]

Not sure if thats is intended, but the generated grails-plugin.xml within the manifest doesn't excludes the demo elements.

@davidkron Not my intention to bother, but I'm sure you have more knowledge than me on this issue.

I have released version 5.0.1 to Maven Central which should be same as the previous 5.0.0 release. Please let me know if this works.

I'm able to run the application using 5.0.1. Thanks for the quick fix!
