Groovy console won't load
I set my system environment
JAVA_HOME
toC:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77
andGROOVY_HOME
toC:\Program Files (x86)\Groovy\Groovy-2.4.6\bin
Your GROOVY_HOME
variable is incorrect. It should point to the root of your Groovy installation (which is one direct up from bin
).
In your case the correct value is GROOVY_HOME C:\Program Files (x86)\Groovy\Groovy-2.4.6
You might also want to consider adding %GROOVY_HOME%\bin
to your system path.
Setting up your Groovy environment
Unzip the groovy archive to some logical place on your hard drive, I have mine in
C:\dev\groovy-2.0.5
Set the
GROOVY_HOME
environment variables. On Windows, follow these steps:
- Optionally add a new System variable with the name
GROOVY_HOME
and the value of the directory groovy was installed in (mine isC:\dev\groovy-2.0.5
)- Start a command prompt, and type "set" and hit return to see that your environment variables were set correctly.
Optionally add
%GROOVY_HOME%\bin
to your system pathTry opening
groovyConsole.bat
by double clicking on the icon in the bin directory of the Groovy distribution.
If it doesn't work, open a command prompt, and change to the bin directory and run it from there to see what the error message is.
If it is complaining about not finding parts of Groovy, then setting
GROOVY_HOME
may help
