How to enable Groovy?

[Samir Freelance]

Hello I am using jira 4.3.4

I downloaded groovy-binary-1.7.10 from this link http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download

, I need to enable Groovy in order to run this script:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.favourites.FavouritesManager
import com.atlassian.jira.portal.PortalPage.....


I am getting this error when i upload 
Could not find a handler capable of installing the plugin at C:\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA 4.3.4\atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\lib\groovy-all-1.7.10.jar. Check that the file is a valid plugin.



Please help

Undo everything you have done, then follow each instruction here carefully: https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/GRV/Script+Runner#ScriptRunner-Installation

Okay I am also downloading from this link :http://www.jython.org/downloads.html

Python scripts

because i can t see Script Runner under 'Options and settings' neither Groovy!!!!!

It makes me mad it s been more than 5 hours and I am still stuck

[Samir Freelance]

I followed your steps I can only see below Options & settings:

• Jelly Runner Send E-mail Announcement Banner

There is no Groovy

[JamieA]

You did not do something right. It's not that difficult if you approach it methodically. Anyway, good luck with python.

[Samir Freelance]

Jamie can you please paste me your skype id or yahoo or msn? I am just confused

If you say it is easy ..i followed step by step ,but no luck ,...I don t wish to use python )

let s stick into groovy , i need your help !

Samir - I followed the steps as Jamie provide and it works for me.

Are you sure you install Groovy executable and THEN put the jar in the web-inf/lib directory? You shoudl also restart JIRA while you are at it after both steps.

[JamieA]

You only need to restart once. Put both jars, ie groovy-runner-N.N.N.jar and groovy-all-N.N.N.jar in web-inf/lib. And make sure they are not in <jirahome>/plugins/installed-plugins.

[JamieA]

I had already given it, or you could have found it with about 20 seconds internet research, but here it is again. https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/GRV/Script+Runner. Top of the page. Note that Eva's link is actually the source jar.

[Samir Freelance]

Thanks Jamie I will mark as answered asap, i am currently in my house ..it s 10 pm in Lebanon

I will try it on my personal machine !

[Samir Freelance]

you think i didn t check your link before?

Man i did and i also went to this page:http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download

can t you simply send me direct 2 links for the 2 files

link1 for :groovy-runner-1.7.10.jar

link 2 for :groovy-all-1.7.10.jar

[Samir Freelance]

groovy-runner-N.N.N.jar and groovy-all-N.N.N.jar

where can i find them?

Is there any Hero can help me?????

i need link1 to download groovy-runner-N.N.N.jar

link2 : groovy-runner-N.N.N.jar

[JamieA]

OK here they are:

https://plugins.atlassian.com/server/1.0/download/pluginVersion/424566

From this one extract the groovy_all_...jar from the /embeddable directory and put it in web-inf/lib.

http://dist.groovy.codehaus.org/distributions/groovy-binary-1.8.1.zip

https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/download/attachments/2261359/groovyrunner-1.7.9-src.zip

[Samir Freelance]

I extracted groovyrunner-1.7.9-src.zip that you give me there is no Jar files

groovy-runner-N.N.N.jar and groovy-all-N.N.N.jar not there.

tell me what should i do step by step

[Eva]

Correct link for groovyrunner

Honestly though, the installation is written on Jamie's website. I pretty much follow it when I was installing it last week. Once you put those jar in the web-inf and restart, it shoudl work magic.
