Grails’ config is usually accessed via an injected instance of GrailsApplication using the config property. Grails injects GrailsApplication into unit tests, so you can access it directly:

@TestMixin(GrailsUnitTestMixin)
class MySpec extends Specification {        
    private static final String VALUE = "Hello"
    void "test something with config"() {
        setup:
        // You have access to grailsApplication.config so you can 
        //modify these values as much as you need, so you can do
        grailsApplication.config.myConfigValue = VALUE

        assert:             
        grailsApplication.config.myConfigValue == VALUE
    }

}
