Description

I installed Groovy-1.8.4 using the window installer. I then launched the Groovy Console and typed in groovy -version, groovy -v, and groovysh and each time I get an exception error. I have my JAVA_HOME variable set, I have my GROOVY_HOME variable set, but the console cannot move past this issue. I can execute Math(16).sqrt, and println commands, etc.

Can someone tell me what to do to make sure that my installation of Groovy is working correctly? I am following "Progamming Groovy" book published by the Pragmatic Programmers.

Thanks

The Groovy Console (groovyConsole.bat) only understands Groovy syntax. The commands you referenced as a problem need to be run at the Windows command prompt.

c:\Java\groovy-1.8.4>bin\groovy -version
Groovy Version: 1.8.4 JVM: 1.6.0_27

c:\Java\groovy-1.8.4>bin\groovy -v
Groovy Version: 1.8.4 JVM: 1.6.0_27

c:\Java\groovy-1.8.4>bin\groovysh
Groovy Shell (1.8.4, JVM: 1.6.0_27)
Type 'help' or '\h' for help.
------------------------------------------
groovy:000> exit

c:\Java\groovy-1.8.4>

I guess this should be closed as "Not a Bug".

As per previous comments, if you can execute "Math(16).sqrt, and println etc" then your installation appears to be working. Using "groovy -v" etc. work from the commandline not the shell.
