Running a Groovy script with a compiled Java class
Greetings,
I can run a simple Groovy class (TestGroovy.groovy) without explicitly
compiling it as follows:
java -jar groovy-3.0.9-indy.jar TestGroovy
I have a compiled Java class file named TestJava.class
I am not using any package declarations. everything is in the current
directory.
I changed TestGroovy.groovy to call my TestJava.class file, however, this
is what I am getting:
$ java -jar groovy-3.0.9-indy.jar TestGroovy
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup
failed:
/home/blake/groovy/TestGroovy.groovy: 7: Apparent variable 'TestJava' was
found in a static scope but doesn't refer to a local variable, static field
or class. Possible causes:
You attempted to reference a variable in the binding or an instance
variable from a static context.
You misspelled a classname or statically imported field. Please check the
spelling.
You attempted to use a method 'TestJava' but left out brackets in a place
not allowed by the grammar.
@ line 7, column 3.
TestJava.javaMethod()
^
1 error
I also tried: java -cp . -jar groovy-3.0.9-indy.jar -cp . TestGroovy
With the same error.
Basically, I am trying to run a Groovy file and have it call a Java class
that I am supplying.
I am attaching the Java and Groovy files. Sure appreciate any help.

Another neat way to do this is to embed your groovy script inside a bash
script as per the method described in the following post:

Just a quick word of caution not directly related to the approach
- You might want to add double quotes around $0 to handle paths that
have spaces in them. Also, it is preferable to use $(dirname "$0")
instead of backticks. Backticks can cause certain unexpected problems
when either being nested or when handling values that have quotes.

Greetings,
For my case, I think I have found a perfect solution. I created the
following bash script named run:
-------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# This script allows the running of a Groovy file in the context of the
# entire system.
JAR_PATH=`dirname $0`/../lib
CLASSES_PATH=`dirname $0`/../build/web/WEB-INF/classes
THE_CLASSPATH=.
for i in `ls $JAR_PATH/*.jar`
do
THE_CLASSPATH=${THE_CLASSPATH}:${i}
done
THE_CLASSPATH=${THE_CLASSPATH}:${CLASSES_PATH}
java -cp ${THE_CLASSPATH} groovy.ui.GroovyMain "$@"
------------------------------------
I am then able to run a groovy file in the context of the rest of my system
(this system has 9500 classes and 89 jar files). I can now simply do:
run MyGroovyFile
Thanks!

Re: Running a Groovy script with a compiled Java class
Posted by Rachel Greenham <ra...@merus.eu>.
It’s a java thing, not a groovy thing. That’s just what java -jar does.
You may be better off having groovy *installed* as opposed to invoking via a java command pointing at the jar. Then you can just use eg:
groovy -cp . TestGroovy.groovy
And as it’s being run as a script you don’t even need the class boilerplate in the groovy source.

Re: Running a Groovy script with a compiled Java class
Posted by Blake McBride <bl...@gmail.com>.
Hi Paul,
That worked great. Thank you!
However, it would be very convenient if I could specify the -cp using the
"java -jar" method like so:
java -jar groovy-3.0.9-indy.jar -cp . TestGroovy
The reason is that the example I gave you is a simplified example of what I
am actually doing. Although the method you gave me does work in my
situation too, it is situationally somewhat awkward. It would be very
convenient if the groovy jar accepted and used the -cp command. Is there
any way I can do that?
(Just FYI, I am working on https://github.com/blakemcbride/Kiss In
particular, see section 7 of
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/blakemcbride/Kiss/blob/master/manual/man/index.html
)
Thanks!

Re: Running a Groovy script with a compiled Java class
Posted by Paul King <pa...@asert.com.au>.
Hi Blake,
If you add the following line into your TestGroovy script:
println System.getProperty('java.class.path')
you will see that "." from the -cp commandline switch to java isn't
passed through to Groovy when using java -jar.
You can instead use (semicolon would be the path separator on Windows):
java -cp /path/to/groovy/jar:. groovy.ui.GroovyMain TestGroovy
or:
/path/to/groovy TestGroovy
Cheers, Paul.
