Description

Setting classpath per command line option when starting script with groovy command (.bat file version) does not work, neither with -cp nor with -classpath:

D:\Workarea\TestSource>groovy -cp ..\Classes MyAppTest.groovy
error: no argument for:c
usage: groovy [options] [args]
options:
  -p                               process files line by line and print result
                                   (see also -n)
  -D,--define <name=value>         define a system property
  -a,--autosplit <splitPattern>    split lines using splitPattern (default '\s')
                                   using implicit 'split' variable
  -c,--encoding <charset>          specify the encoding of the files
  -d,--debug                       debug mode will print out full stack traces
  -e <script>                      specify a command line script
  -h,--help                        usage information
  -i <extension>                   modify files in place; create backup if
                                   extension is given (e.g. '.bak')
  -l <port>                        listen on a port and process inbound lines
  -n                               process files line by line using implicit
                                   'line' variable
  -v,--version                     display the Groovy and JVM versions

D:\Workarea\TestSource>groovy -classpath ..\Classes MyAppTest.groovy
Caught: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: D:\Workarea\Classes (D:\Workarea\Classes) is a directory not a Groovy source file.

does --classpath work? It appears to for me.

You're right, that way it works for 1.5.4 and 1.5.6

But for 1.6-beta-1 I got this result:

D:\Workarea\TestSource>groovy --classpath ..\Classes MyAppTest.groovy
Caught: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\Workarea\TestSource--classpath (D:\Workarea\TestSource--classpath)

Should be fixed in trunk - needs a little bit more manual testing ...

Hello all

I have installed Groovy Version: 1.5.7 JVM: 1.6.0_07 on my computer.
I have a script that I would like to run with groovy setNamenSkalierung.groovy, but for this script I need a PostgeSQL driver so I added the jar file with a classpath option "groovy -cp ../../lib/postgresql-8.2-505.jdbc3.jar:. setNamenSkalierung.groovy".
No it dos not load this jar at all.
I rayed to load laod it with the ~/.groovy/lib, with "C:\Programme\Groovy\Groovy-1.5.7\embeddable" and with all kind of writing versions in the command string "groovy -cp ../../lib/postgresql-8.2-505.jdbc3.jar setNamenSkalierung.groovy, groovy -classpath ../../lib/postgresql-8.2-505.jdbc3.jar:. setNamenSkalierung.groovy, etc."

When ever I do a
println "********************************************"
System.properties.each{println it}
println "********************************************"

println "********************************************"
System.env.each{println it}
println "********************************************"

there is no effect on the "java.class.path=C:\Programme\Groovy\Groovy-1.5.7\lib\groovy-1.5.7.jar" variable.

So it would be my bett that this bug is still not fixed.

Hope to help you with this comment.

Greetings Chris

The java.class.path property is the classpath before the Groovy classpath infrastructure does its thing. Can you try something like this:

groovy -cp C:\Downloads\postgresql.org\postgresql-8.3-604.jdbc3.jar -e "println org.postgresql.Driver"

You should get something like:

class org.postgresql.Driver
