"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.groovy.tools.GroovyStarter" error while running a simple GEB program

I have:

and all the required jars.

I am trying to run a simple GEB program:

@Grapes([
    @Grab("org.codehaus.geb:geb-core:0.7.2"),    
    @Grab("org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-firefox-driver:2.28.0"),
    @Grab("org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support:2.15.0")
])
import geb.Browser

Browser.drive {
    go "http://googel.com/"
    assert title == "Google"
}

and as I run this I am seeing the above mentioned exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.groovy.tools.GroovyStarter
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)

Basically your GROOVY_HOME is either pointing to wrong location or not accessible. Just correct it and job done.

I faced this when I was trying to execute a groovy script as part of some migration activity. The problem was simple. In my case it was not able to see the path of groovy installation. When I used full path of $GROOVY_HOME/bin/groovy <script> It worked.

It has nothing to do with Geb -- your environment is misconfigured.

Have a look at this groovy user mailing list thread.

Another thing is that as far as I know Geb 0.7.2 is compiled with Groovy 1.8.6 and I don't know if it's compatible with Groovy 2.0.
