Use sass-asset pipeline with grails 5

When trying to use sass in grails 5 by integrating the sass-asset pipeline it is not compiling.

Steps to reproduce

• Download and install grails 5.0.1

• Add simple scss file layout.scss to folder assets/stylesheets

• Add sass-asset pipeline plugin to build.gradle

• Compile assets

  ./gradlew clean assetCompile --stacktrace
  

The following error is occurring:

* Exception is:
org.gradle.launcher.daemon.client.DaemonDisappearedException: Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)
at org.gradle.launcher.daemon.client.DaemonClient.handleDaemonDisappearance(DaemonClient.java:252)
at org.gradle.launcher.daemon.client.DaemonClient.monitorBuild(DaemonClient.java:225)
at org.gradle.launcher.daemon.client.DaemonClient.executeBuild(DaemonClient.java:187)
......

It seems that it is a compatibility problem with the gradle version.
