HttpBuilder "No signature of method" error when run as a Groovy script from within eclipse

First, what happens when you do Run as -> Java Application?

Also, can you attach a simple script that reproduces the problem?

I'm no longer able to repro. Originally, I ran into the exception only when I run the app as a Groovy script or via the console. It runs fine when executed as a java app. Since then, I've recreated my maven eclipse project settings via the eclipse maven plugin, which initializes the project with jars that point to my maven repository. Via the eclipse properties UI, I've also manually added Groovy libraries to the application classpath and moved the Groovy libraries to the top of the "Order and Export" list and this seemed to solve the problem. I can't revert to the original state in which I first ran into the issue - I've tried removing the Groovy libraries from my eclipse build settings and the app runs fun (as groovy script as well as java app). I'm going to go ahead and close the defect!

Thanks for getting back to me and feel free to reopen if you see this again.

I am hitting this in Version: 2.1.2.xx-20110310-1500-e36
So is it really an issue in greclipse or not?
Any workaround?

Reopening

jm...please provide some more detail:

1. How do you run the script? As a Groovy script or a Java app?
2. Try running using the other mechanism (they both should work, but this would help narrow down the problem).
3. And the script itself would be useful.

1. How do you run the script? As a Groovy script or a Java app?
I see what original reporter says. Works as java app, does not as groovy script

The script is too cumbersome...anyway as I can run it as a java app is not a showstopper anymore.

OK. I will resolve this issue again, but please re-open if you see any more problems.

Hi, I get same issue with GRECLIPSE 2.5 and "Run as Groovy Script". Here is the script:

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import static groovyx.net.http.Method.GET
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.TEXT

// initialze a new builder and give a default URL
def http = new HTTPBuilder( 'http://www.google.com/search' )

http.request(GET,TEXT) { req ->
uri.path = '/mail/help/tasks/' // overrides any path in the default URL
headers.'User-Agent' = 'Mozilla/5.0'

response.success = { resp, reader ->
assert resp.status == 200
println "My response handler got response: $

"
println "Response length: $

"
System.out << reader // print response reader
}

// called only for a 404 (not found) status code:
response.'404' =

}

I get this error:

Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder.request() is applicable for argument types: (groovyx.net.http.Method, groovyx.net.http.ContentType, GoogleTest$_run_closure1) values: [GET, text/plain, GoogleTest$_run_closure1@74d402dd]
Possible solutions: request(groovyx.net.http.Method, groovy.lang.Closure), request(groovyx.net.http.Method, java.lang.Object, groovy.lang.Closure), request(java.lang.Object, groovyx.net.http.Method, java.lang.Object, groovy.lang.Closure)

Please reopen

Hi Alexis,

I think the problem that you are having (as well as the previous commenters) is summarized in GRECLIPSE-1055 and GRECLIPSE-482. My guess is that the hardwired paths in your launch configuration are no longer working since you upgraded. The workaround is to delete the launch configuration and create a new one for the new version of groovy. However, the real fix would be to address the problem specified in GRECLIPSE-1055.

If this does not fix your problem, then I'll reopen this issue and have a deeper look.
