I have added the following on build.gradle to add spring security dependecy to my project
compile 'org.grails.plugins:spring-security-core:3.1.1'
But when I start my app I get the following exception
ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application startup failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'grailsApplicationPostProcessor' defined in workspace.Application: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [grails.boot.config.GrailsApplicationPostProcessor]: Factory method 'grailsApplicationPostProcessor' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: grails/plugin/springsecurity/ControllerMixin

I am using JDK 8 as my sdk.
Looks like you haven't configured plugin. You need to configure plugin in your application.yml For example:
grails:
plugin:
springsecurity:
userLookup.usernamePropertyName: 'usernameProperty'
userLookup.userDomainClassName: 'com.yourProject.User'
userLookup.authorityJoinClassName: 'com.yourProject.UserRole'
authority.className: 'com.yourProject.Role'
password:
algorithm: bcrypt
encodeHashAsBase64: true
bcrypt.logrounds: 4
rejectIfNoRule: true
successHandler.defaultTargetUrl: /
controllerAnnotations:
staticRules:
- pattern: '/**'
access: ['permitAll']
Also you need classes com.yourProject.User, com.yourProject.UserRole, and com.yourProject.Role. Basic configuration can be created using q2-quickstart script:
grails s2-quickstart com.yourProject User Role
Here you can find very good docs - http://grails-plugins.github.io/grails-spring-security-core/
