runScript fails with noSuchmethodError: GrailsApplicationContext.getEnvironment()

[Tim R]

In grails 2.0.4 I have a basic script containing only:

println "HelloWorld"

When I execute this script with the runScript command, it blows up with the NoSuchMethodError below.  Any ideas? Workarounds?  Blindly obvious errors I've made?

grails run-script otherScripts/HelloWorld.groovy

A couple things... First, I don't think you can have scripts be in sub-folder under "scripts", but not a 100% sure.  You can include other scripts in sub-folders via includeTargets though:

includeTargets << new File("/path/to/my/script.groovy")

Second, you don't use "run-script" to execute scripts, it's simply the name of the script.  So, if you have a script called HelloWorld.groovy under the scripts directory, you would execute it via "grails hello-world"

Third, you need to define a default target for the script to work properly.  So, something like this for a hello world example:

includeTargets << grailsScript("_GrailsInit")
target(main: "hello") {
    println "hello world"
}
setDefaultTarget(main)


Hope that helps!

run-script is new and different from running Gant scripts; see http://grails.org/doc/latest/ref/Command%20Line/run-script.html

This works for me in a new empty 2.0.4 app. It looks like a classpath problem - the missing method is there in Spring 3.1. Something (probably a plugin) must be dragging in older Spring jars. Try "grails clean" and "grails compile", and look at a dependency report if that doesn't work.
