groovy

The attached patch works for me in the following environment:

% uname -a
SunOS stitch 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

% java -version
java version "1.5.0_14"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_14-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_14-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

Patch to slightly de-bashify startGroovy to allow it to run under Solaris 10.

Thanks for the patch!

Applied and tested on:

• SunOS 5.10 (checked it appeared to fix this)
• Cygwin (1.5.25) (checked it didn't appear to break this)
• Ubuntu (2.6.22-14 kernel) (checked it didn't appear to break this)

Hi I am trying to get groovy to run on Solaris 10.4 on an x86 box. I downloaded the patch - startGroovyatch renamed it to startGroovy. I start a bash shell /usr/bin/bash run ./groovy -version and get
./groovy: syntax error at line 3: `(' unexpected ...... am I suposed to do anything else to this file to get it to work???

uname -
SunOS neo 5.10 Generic_127112-07 i86pc i386 i86pc
java version 1.6.0_04-b12

Thanks,
bcm

Brenden,

It is not a question of downloading the patch and renaming it, it is a question of applying the patch to an installed startGroovy that needs the patch applying, i.e. the patch is an edit specification not a replacement file.

I suggest you download a copy of startGroovy from the Subversion repository and install it, this will have the patch applied and should work fine.

Thanks Russel,

3 Questions-

I went to the https repository and found /trunk/groovy/groovy-core/src/bin
startGroovy..... isn't that the same as the startGroovy.patch above??

What do you mean install it- just copy it in the the bin dir?

I tried "installing" the startGroovy.patch(from this page) by executing it in the bin dir with the origional startGroovy and that had a command not found on line 1..... sorry but my bash scripting is about nill.....

Thanks for your help!

The patch above isn't the same as the file in the repository. You can make use of the supplied patch if you know how to run the patch program. Installing in general might require copying and chmod'ing though in this case I think just copying should be all you need.

Hi,

I think I am making lots of progress.... I no longer get the error at line 219 or line 3!!

I downloaded the startGroovy file from Subversion, copied it in an ran it ....

Now I get groovy -version
NoClassDefFoundError : org/codehaus/groovy/tools/GroovyStarter

I downloaded the groovy-1.5.4 binary zip version from-
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download ??

Any Thoughts??
Thanks Again,
-Brenden

It looks like you don't have GROOVY_HOME set up. Did you follow the install instructions:

http://groovy.codehaus.org/Installing+Groovy

HI,

Sorry for the delay I was out....

Yes, The first thing I did was the install instructions.... Below is my environment and setup etc....

Thanks

It looks like $GROOVY_HOME is not getting expanded as in:

shouldn't the $GROOVY_HOME be expanded at this point???
Why wouldn't this be so??
is this the problem??

Hi,

I have really been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work so any help would be great!!!
BTW I have a got a groovy version running on OSX but I need to get it running on solaris.
I modified the startGroovy script like so-
(output is at the bottom)

startGroovy ( ) {
CLASS=$1
shift

1. Start the Profiler or the JVM
   if $useprofiler ; then
   runProfiler
   else
   echo Starter Class Path is $STARTER_CLASSPATH
   GROOVYJAR=/export/groovytmp/groovy-1.5.4/lib/groovy-1.5.4.jar
   export GROOVYJAR
   echo Groovy Jar is $GROOVYJAR
   echo Java Opts are $JAVA_OPTS
   SCRIPT_PATH=$GROOVY_HOME/bin/groovy
   export SCRIPT_PATH
   echo Script Path is $SCRIPT_PATH
   echo GROOVY CONFIG IS $GROOVY_CONF
   echo TOOLS_JAR is $TOOLS_JAR
   echo Groovy Home is $GROOVY_HOME
   echo STARTER_MAIN_CLASS is $STARTER_MAIN_CLASS
   echo CLASS is $CLASS
   echo CP is $CP
   echo @ is $@
   exec "$JAVACMD" $JAVA_OPTS \
   -classpath "$STARTER_CLASSPATH" \
   -Dscript.name="$SCRIPT_PATH" \
   -Dprogram.name="$PROGNAME" \
   -Dgroovy.starter.conf="$GROOVY_CONF" \
   -Dgroovy.home="$GROOVY_HOME" \
   -Dtools.jar="$TOOLS_JAR" \
   -Djava.security.debug="access,failure" \
   $STARTER_MAIN_CLASS \
   --main $CLASS \
   --conf "$GROOVY_CONF" \
   --classpath "$CP" \
   "$@"
   fi
   }

THE OUT PUT IS:

Any Thoughts....
Thanks,

@GROOVYJAR@ is replaced by the Groovy version plus jar extension when packaging up the normal download zip. If you grabbed the new source file you would need to change that manually, e.g. it should be something like 'groovy-1.5.4.jar'.

Thanks so much for your time - thats good to know.
