I work behind a firewall, and it requires that I add a cert for our proxy to the cacerts file in the Java distribution. This works fine.
I have a quite old version of Groovy installed on my desktop, v2.4.21, which is the version used by our Jenkins pipeline script. I want to test some code in groovyConsole before I try to run it on our CI server. For many things, this works fine. However, I'm trying to iterate on some code that makes a https connection, and I'm getting an error in groovyConsole that I believe is the same error I get when the server cert is missing ("PKIX path building failed"), which isn't surprising because I never installed the root cert in the Groovy distribution. I've never really looked inside the Groovy distribution before. I don't even see a cacerts file or anything that really looks like it, so it must do this in a different way than the Java distribution. Is it possible that this is because I'm using such an old version of Groovy?
