"org.reflections.Reflections - could not get type for name" when using reflection against package containing groovy classes

I have several groovy classes containing spock tests that are annotated with @Issue. i'm trying to use reflection to get all those methods. i get the exception below >>

org.reflections.ReflectionsException: could not get type for name xxxx.

Here the code i have so far:

Set<Method> TestMethodsList = new ReflectionsLibrary("package name here").getTestMethods()

i tried a couple of ways to instantiate a reflections instance

1-

reflections = new Reflections(new ConfigurationBuilder()
                 .setScanners(new SubTypesScanner(false /* don't exclude Object.class */), new ResourcesScanner(),new MemberUsageScanner(), new MethodAnnotationsScanner(), new MethodParameterScanner())
                 .setUrls(ClasspathHelper.forClassLoader(classLoadersList.toArray(new ClassLoader[0])))
                 .addClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader())
                 .filterInputsBy(new FilterBuilder().include(FilterBuilder.prefix(packageName))))

2-

reflections = new Reflections(new ConfigurationBuilder().setUrls(ClasspathHelper.forPackage(packageName))
                .addScanners(new MemberUsageScanner(), new MethodAnnotationsScanner(), new MethodParameterScanner()))

then i call

     Set<Method> getTestMethods() {

         return reflections.getMethodsAnnotatedWith(Issue.class)

    }

Maybe there is another way to use reflection when dealing with groovy. This code works on java classes by the way.

Any ideas ?

Thank you
