Don't get me wrong, Grails is fantastic, but the documentation sometimes is lacking or completely wrong. I realize that development is moving so fast with Grails that documentation gets overlooked but this can be a source of frustration.
Often my frustration comes when I am trying to write effective tests and the documentation often send me (and my co-workers) down the wrong path.
In an effort to keep others from making the same mistakes I have made in the past, you may want to just check out the MockUtils implementation to see what Grails really has to offer during testing.
If you aren't familiar with testing in Grails then check out the sample chapter (which happens to be all about testing) from the book Grails in Action. If you don't already have a copy of the book, I recommend you get one. It's fantastic!
P.S. As a bonus here are some nice examples of testing REST controllers.
