Why does Gorm not recognize mongo domain class in Grails 4? - mongodb

Question

Grails 4.0.10. Mongodb 5.0.9 Community.
I'm following the instructions at https://gorm.grails.org/latest/mongodb/manual/ with a Grails Plugin project.
First anomaly, build.gradle:
compile 'org.grails.plugins:mongodb:7.3.0'
Once I do this I get dependency errors and also have to add
compile 'org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-core:4.7.0'
compile 'org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-sync:4.7.0'
Ok, everything else is pretty much a vanilla project. I created a test domain class "QtxResponse" as
#Entity
class QtxResponse {
static mapWith = "mongo"
String objectId
static constraints = {
}
static mapping = {
//id column: "object_id"
objectId index: true
}
}
The project fires up without error. Using the console I create a new QtxResponse via create-domain-class with a String objectId property and try to save it. This is what I get:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Either class [domainobject.qualtrics.QtxResponse] is not a domain class or GORM has not been initialized correctly or has already been shutdown. Ensure GORM is loaded and configured correctly before calling any methods on a GORM entity.
What is this telling me? Is it something with Gorm setup or something with mapping to mongodb? I have tried both with and without Hibernate.

For Grails 4.0.10, this configuration worked (with hibernate):
compile 'org.grails.plugins:mongodb:6.1.7'
compile 'org.mongodb:bson:4.7.0'
compile "org.grails.plugins:hibernate5"
compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.4.0.Final"
compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-ehcache:5.1.3.Final"
