How to include dependencies for Groovy script?

Jason Plumhoff

On issue close, I have a scripted post function that is intended to send information to another application through a REST interface. In my IDE, I use grape to get some of my dependencies:

@Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', module='http-builder', version='0.6' ) @GrabExclude('xml-apis:xml-apis')

Everything works fine in the IDE... But when I try to run my script in our JIRA instance, I get:

javax.script.ScriptException: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:

Script1.groovy: 9: unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.RESTClient

 @ line 9, column 1.

   import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient

   ^



Script1.groovy: 10: unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.ContentType

 @ line 10, column 1.

   import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.JSON

   ^



2 errors

I'd like to know how to pull together the dependencies downloaded by grape in my IDE and store them under "C:\CustomGroovy\classes". I've tried every suggested solution I could find on the web, but after a day of banging my head on the problem I've gotten nowhere. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jason

It took far more effort than I probably should have put in, but I ditched grape and used maven to create an uber-jar that contained all the dependencies I needed to use the groovy RESTClient. I dropped the new jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder and ran my script without issue.

Interesting point - I started out by throwing everything + the kitchen sink into the jar. Once it worked, I backed out every single part I could. In the end, I had to include groovy to make it work.

For anyone who needs it, here's my final POM:
