Grails 3 hibernateDatastore stratup error after migrating from Grails 2 - grails

Question

I am upgrading to Grails 3.3.1 from a Grails 2.4 app.
Things seemed to be going slow but OK until I stumbled into this problem when trying to run the app:
Configuring Spring Security Core ...
... finished configuring Spring Security Core
Configuring Spring Security Shiro ...
... finished configuring Spring Security Shiro

Description:
The dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycle:
grailsCacheFilter
↓
(inner bean)#3238926e
↓
urlMappingsHandlerMapping

openSessionInViewInterceptor
┌─────┐
| hibernateDatastore
└─────┘
Hibernate and Shiro version in the build gradle:
// hibernate
compile "org.grails.plugins:hibernate5:6.0.13"
compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.1.10.Final"
compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-ehcache:5.1.10.Final"
compile 'org.grails.plugins:spring-security-shiro:3.0.1'
Is this a common error people are running into?
Will I have to go through my dependences one by one to see if one of them is causing this?
