running Groovy from java command line

[fschmidt]

I want to run Groovy from Java from the command line without shell scripts.  I copied groovy-all-1.0.jar into jre/lib/ext and tried:

> java org.codehaus.groovy.tools.GroovyStarter t.groovy
no configuration file or main class specified

> java groovy.ui.GroovyMain t.groovy
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException
Exception in thread "main"

How do I do this?

You need commons cli on your classpath.

Thank you, that worked.

Now I get:

unable to resolve class fschmidt.util.java.IoUtils

My import statement is:

import fschmidt.util.java.IoUtils;

IoUtils is implemented in a class file in my classpath.  What is wrong?

Hi,

It's hard to give useful comments without more info. Is your IoUtil
class java src or Groovy? (the path to it suggests it's Java). have you
compiled it? can you see the .class file in the correct directory and is
your classpath setup to include the directory above fschmidt?

Suggest adding a 'Hello world' main() method to your IoUtil class and
check that you can invoke it using the same classpath as you're using
for your programme. If you can't then either your classpath is wrong or
your .class file isn't where it should be.

IoUtils is compiled from Java.  I know it should work because I have similar scripts in BeanShell and Pnuts that use IoUtils and work.

Without more information about your setup I can't really help. I think
you'll need to give a detailed description of your setup so that others
can understand exactly what's happening. Maybe create a simplified test
case to demonstrate the problem?

I copied groovy-all-1.0.jar and commons-cli-1.0.jar into jre/lib/ext .  I created a file t.groovy containing:

import fschmidt.util.java.IoUtils;
println("hello");

(This is just a minimal test.)  Then I tried running it with:

java groovy.ui.GroovyMain t.groovy

and got:

unable to resolve class fschmidt.util.java.IoUtils

IoUtils.class was compiled from Java and is accessible through my classpath.  I use it in Java programs and from scripts in BeanShell and Pnuts without problems.

I am using cygwin and java 1.5 .

and you are sure it is on the classpath? you have a CLASSPATH variable
set? I guess, because you are not using the -cp option. What happens if
you add the classpath using the -cp option instead of using CLASSPATH?

Hi
Can you tell me how things are going when importing  fschmidt.util.java.* ?
Thanks

such an import is not resolved, so something like:
[...]
>      > import fschmidt.util.java.IoUtils ;
>      > println("hello");

will not produce something usefull.. maybe:

  import fschmidt.util.java.*
  println(IoUtils);

but I guess the result will be a MissingPropertyException

You win :-)

but actually I tried to reproduce his problem and successfully got the same error.
What could be wrong ?

I am using a comparable setup in my IDE and I have no problems, so I am
not sure what is wrong. Executed directly via GroovyMain means that no
RootLoader is involved, only the normal GroovyClassLoader, so if the
class is on the ClassPath it should compile.

Could you please try running it from the command line without any Groovy-specific environment variables set?  All you need to do is to run:

java groovy.ui.GroovyMain t.groovy

where t.groovy should refer to some class file in your classpath.

I'm having similar problems (on Mac OS X) trying to use a java music jar file:

$ env | grep CLASSPATH
CLASSPATH=/Users/bslade/Library/Groovy

// Note, I softlinked the Groovy .jar files into this dir.  It maybe uneccessary, but it shouldn't hurt anything:
$ ls -l /Users/bslade/Library/Groovy
lrwxr-xr-x   1 bslade  bslade     39 Apr 30 00:18 commons-cli-1.0.jar -> /Library/Groovy/lib/commons-cli-1.0.jar
lrwxr-xr-x   1 bslade  bslade     45 Apr 30 00:30 groovy-all-1.0.jar -> /Library/Groovy/embeddable/groovy-all-1.0.jar
-rw-r--r--   1 bslade  bslade  97335 Apr 29 23:52 jfugue.jar

$ cat jfugue_demo.groovy
import org.jfugue.*;
Player player = new Player();
Pattern pattern = new Pattern("C D E F G A B");
player.play(pattern);

// This *should* use the CLASSPATH env variable, but...
$ groovyc jfugue_demo.groovy        
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, jfugue_demo.groovy: 6: unable to resolve class Player
...snip...

// But if I explicitly specify the jar file, it *does* compile:
$ groovyc -classpath $CLASSPATH/jfugue.jar jfugue_demo.groovy

// But then when I try and run it, it give errors similar to fschmidt's:
$ java jfugue_demo
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jfugue_demo

// Same result when I explicitly state class/jar locations:
$ java -cp "$GROOVY_HOME/embeddable/groovy-all-1.0.jar;$GROOVY_HOME/lib/commons-cli-1.0.jar;$CLASSPATH/jfugue.jar" jfugue_demo
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jfugue_demo

Interestingly, if I change the filename of the class that is supposed to be run, it gives the same error message (with the new classname):
$ java xxx
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: xxx

So it looks like it's not finding the class file I just compiled (which was created).   I hope this doesn't turn out to be something incredibly obvious ;)

hmm... I don't remember clearly but unless the it is now possible to put
directories containing jars in the classpath, this is no valid
classpath... At last in java5 the jars would not be used. I don't know
your version on Mac, but this seems to be no groovy but a java problem.

won't work for groovyc, groovyc needs the classic classpath way... so
you ahve to list all jars.

ok, but that's another exception. You need to add "." as well, how else
should java find the class?

well if there is no xxx.class file somewhere it is no wonder.

incredibly obvious ^^

I think I know how to use any .jar file within your compiling line:
e.g if you wanna add one, or more than one, jar library:
$ javac -classpath .:jfugue.jar:xalan.jar:xerces.jar YOURJAVAFILE.java
& to run it :
$ java -classpath .:jfugue.jar:xalan.jar:xerces.jar YOURJAVAFILE      "without . java"

But , how to set that path forever? I have no idea :P
I hope that I helped here :)
