Description

groovy does not ignore global CLASSPATH even if -cp is specified on command line. Try this:

C:\Temp>set CLASSPATH=foo

C:\Temp>groovy -cp bar -e "println System.getProperty('java.class.path')"
C:\programs\groovy-1.0-jsr-03\lib\classworlds-1.1-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT-NO-SYSTEM-EXIT.jar;foo;bar;.

(foo should not appear)

This is how java interpreter works - if you specify -cp / -classpath, the contents of CLASSPATH environment variable is ignored.

I tried to do a unit test case out of this, but for some reason I was unable to get the output of another groovy process from groovy, e.g.

def command = "groovy.bat -e \"println 'heiiii'\""

def p = Runtime.runtime.exec(command) //, envp)
def text = p.text
// I would assume that text now refers to 'heii', but it is empty. I tried including p.waitFor() but to no avail.
