Can't find spock inside of intellij

I am pretty new to intellij and spock.

I am adding spock testing to my spring boot project using gradle. Here's my build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext {
        springBootVersion = '1.4.0.RELEASE'
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

jar {
    baseName = 'theta-server'
    version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}


dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
    testCompile('org.spockframework:spock-core:1.0-groovy-2.4')
}


eclipse {
    classpath {
         containers.remove('org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER')
         containers 'org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.8'
    }
}

And so I added a spock test such:

package com.heavyweightsoftware.theta.server.controller

/**
 * 
 */
class ThetaControllerTest extends spock.lang.Specification {
    def "Theta"() {

    }
}

But I can't run the test inside my intellij environment because it says "cannot resolve symbol 'spock'"

The build runs fine directly.

Morfic

At times, IJ may not update the project classpath after some changes. It seems that this happens for both Maven POM files as well as Gradle build files. Usually, this is easily solved by forcing a sync with the Reimport all gradle/maven projects button from the appropriate tool window (maven, gradle):
