Hi Groovy magic workers,
I notice that the Windows Installer has changed quite a lot recently. It is
nice and quick and the UI is simple. However: things I note in this release:
1. The supplementary extras (e.g. Jacob / scriptom) are not included at all,
not even as a custom install. Not sure how to include these separately, other
than to copy-paste from an older release. [I use scriptom to query the Windows
Services list to start/stop/query various services].
2. The Windows 3.0.4 installer and 3.0.5 releases are not yet on the
‘groovy-lang.org’ download site.
3. My Environment PATH variable appears to have 2 entries pointing to the
new groovy home. Perhaps it edits the previous entry and then adds the new one
as well.
4. It does not supply separate 64-bit executables that can be exchanged with
the 32-bit executables, which might relate to the next item…
5. It defaults the install under program files (x86) – suggesting a 32-bit
implementation only. Only the ‘custom’ option allows it to be put somewhere
else.
I then noticed that if I execute this in groovysh or in the groovyConsole:
“groovy -v”.execute().waitForProcessOutput(System.out, System.err)
Exception thrown
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "groovy": CreateProcess error=2, The
system cannot find the file specified
at ConsoleScript5.run(ConsoleScript5:1)
Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find
the file specified
But this works
“groovy.bat -v”.execute().waitForProcessOutput(System.out, System.err)
Groovy Version: 3.0.3 JVM: 1.8.0_162 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Windows 10
Does this suggest that the installed groovy is 32-bit when my computer and JDK
are both 64-bit? My older groovy installs (going back to 2.0.4) would all work.
PS – Why call groovy using “execute” rather than GroovyScriptEngine? Well some
of these called scripts use System.exit (error-number) and if I use the
ScriptEngine or similar, it causes my script to exit as well!
