Task hanging upon trying to execute a Scala script

Old Forum Archive
1

I have the following task definition:

task small(dependsOn: configurations.compile) << {

def command = [“${projectDir}/setter-for-catan.scala”]

def env = null //

println ([‘echo’, ‘********************** 0’].execute(env, null).text)

println (command.execute(env, null).text)

}

The contents of the Scala script is:

#!/bin/bash

echo ‘********************* 1’ “$0” “$@”

/opt/scala-2.10.1/bin/scala “$0” “$@” 2>&1

!#

object ‘setter-for-catan’ {

def main(args: Array[String]) {

println(“****************** 2”)

}

}

This gives the following output:

$ g small

:small

********************** 0

********************* 1 /Users/nyap/proj/setter-for-catan/setter-for-catan.scala

****************** 2

If ‘env’ is defined as ‘’, Gradle hangs with the following output:

$ g small

:small

********************** 0

Building > :small

If ‘“$0” “$@”’ is then changed to ‘-version’, the build stops hanging with the following output:

$ g small

:small

********************** 0

********************* 1 /Users/nyap/proj/setter-for-catan/setter-for-catan.scala

Scala code runner version 2.10.1 – Copyright 2002-2013, LAMP/EPFL

What’s going on? Should I ask a Groovy community instead?

The following Groovy script exhibits the same hanging problem:

#!/opt/groovy-1.8.6/bin/groovy

final command = ["./setter-for-catan.scala"]

final env = []

println ([‘echo’, ‘********************** 0’].execute(env, null).text)

println (command.execute(env, null).text)

so it does look to be a Groovy/Scala issue.

I suspect the Scala process is not exiting. If you run just the bash script by itself what happens?

The Scala script runs fine by itself. It turned out that the Scala script wasn’t inheriting the JAVA_HOME setting.
