compileGroovy throws ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.ivy.*

Christian_Lipp · June 18, 2013, 10:11am

I am using Windows7 64bit, GradleW 1.6 and Java SDK 7.21 64Bit:

After updating to Java 7.21 (not sure if my problem correspond to this change) even the simplest buildfile does not work anymore. This ‘build.gradle’:

// Plugins
apply plugin: 'groovy'
  // Variables
ext {
 groovyVersion = '2.1.5'
}
  // Dependencies
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
  dependencies {
 // Groovy
    compile "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:${groovyVersion}"
}

lead to the following excption (executed with --info and --stacktrace):

D:\Workspace\Groovy\javafxscripts>gradlew compileGroovy --stacktrace

Has anyone the slightest idea whats going on here?

Sometimes the class ivy.core.module.descriptor.DefaultModuleDescriptor is not found:

To clarify, there is no Groovy source file available.

Peter_Niederwieser · June 18, 2013, 5:43pm

Could be the known Groovy compiler problem that the Groovy compiler sometimes needs runtime dependencies on the compile class path. Why are you running ‘compileGroovy’ although no Groovy files are available? Are you sure about this? ApiGroovyCompiler itself doesn’t make any use of Ivy.

JayStGelais · June 25, 2013, 5:28pm

I’m getting the same error, and I have several groovy file available.

Peter_Niederwieser · June 26, 2013, 3:27am

Can you paste the full stack trace (’–full-stacktrace’) as a GIthub Gist?

JayStGelais · June 26, 2013, 12:09pm

Some further googling after I came across this discussion helped me find a fix. I started off with the quickstart groovy project from the gradle samples, which included a build.gradle that looked like this (I changed my groovy version to 1.6.5):

apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'groovy'
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
  dependencies {
    compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:1.6.5'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
}

When running the build I got a stack trace identical to the one listed in the OP. I was able to fix this issue by changing my dependencies to looke like this:

dependencies {
    groovy group: 'org.codehaus.groovy', name: 'groovy', version: '1.6.5'
    groovy group: 'org.apache.ivy', name:'ivy', version:'2.2.0'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
}

Christian_Lipp · June 26, 2013, 4:21pm

When I said I have no Groovy files within the project this means I removed them to guarantee that not my source is responsible for the error.

Today I did ‘gradlew --full-stacktrace build’ and provided a HelloWorld class.You can find both stacktraces for Gradle 1.5 and Gradle 1.6 here: https://gist.github.com/ChrLipp/5868837

Peter_Niederwieser · June 28, 2013, 3:15am

Judging from the stack trace, some Groovy code that uses ‘@Grab’ is getting compiled. Since the Grab mechanism uses Ivy, you’ll have to add Ivy as a ‘compile’ dependency. (If this doesn’t work, try ‘groovy’ like JayStGelais showed.)

Christian_Lipp · June 28, 2013, 7:23am

You are right, works for me now. Thanks for your time!

Michal_Moravcik · March 6, 2014, 3:05pm

Yes, the groovy ivy dependency worked for me as well. Thank you.

Gary_Shurgin · April 8, 2014, 8:15pm

I am seeing the same symptoms, but I am not using ivy. I am using Maven.

The stack trace looks like:

Peter_Niederwieser · April 8, 2014, 9:13pm

You may be missing a compile dependency (see one of my earlier comments).

Eduard_Alves · November 5, 2014, 4:50pm

I removed the @Grab. I worked! Tanks!
