I can't run a simple Grails functional test using Geb and spock

Question

I'm asking for help because I don't know what to do with this error... So first of all let me show the stacktrace I get when running my really simple test, what is weird is that my test doesn't seem to be executed ... ? I'm using Grails 2.0

And here the groovy files :

SecondaryTest.groovy :

import pages.SignInPage
import geb.spock.GebReportingSpec

class SecondaryTest extends GebReportingSpec {

    String getBaseUrl() { "http://localhost:8080/" }

    File getReportDir() { new File("target/reports/geb") }

    def "I am at siginin page"() {
        when:
        to SignInPage

        then:
        true
    }
}

SignInPage.groovy :

package pages

import geb.Page

class SignInPage extends Page {

    static url = "login/auth"

    static at = { title == "Sign in" }

    static content = {
    }
}

thanks

Your test classes must end in Spec not Test. Otherwise Grails won't recognize them as Spock specifications.
