How to use @SourceURI annotation to retrieve the full path of the script file in Groovy 2.3?

I need to retrieve at runtime the full path of the script file in Groovy 2.3. Actually I have the same problem than the one described here: get path to groovy source file at runtime.

My script can be executed from GroovyShell or not.

My script is located at :

C:\users\myname\documents\scripts\myscript.groovy

=> I simpy want to retrieve this path at runtime.

If I use the solution that was accepted:

println new File(".").absolutePath

what I get is actually : 

C:\groovy-2.3.7\.

which is the groovy home folder. That is not correct. The other proposed answer ie :

URL scriptUrl = getClass().classLoader.resourceLoader.loadGroovySource(getClass().name)

works only when my script is in the classpath, or when it is loaded at groovy startup using load directive in groovy-starter.conf. Otherwise it returns null. I could use this method but it is not satisfying because it is like passing a parameter and the goal here is that users to be able to execute the script from anywhere without modification or configuration.

I also red this JIRA who focus on this question: JIRA-1642

Solution seems to use the @SourceURI annotation that was created for this purpose. Problem is I am not able to make it work. I try to execute the code usage shown at: SourceURI

@groovy.transform.SourceURI def sourceURI
assert sourceURI instanceof java.net.URI
path = sourceURI.toString()
println "path = $path"

What I get is (groovy 2.3.7) is not the path but the source code :

path = data:,@groovy.transform.SourceURI%20def%20sourceURI%0A%0A%20assert%20sourceURI%20instanceof%20java.net.URI%0Apath%20=%20sourceURI.toString()%0Aprintln%20%22path%20=%20$path%22

How to use the @SourceURI annotation to retrieve the path of the script file ?

I was looking for the same script path information you were. I noticed that when running the following via the shell:

@groovy.transform.SourceURI def sourceURI
assert sourceURI instanceof java.net.URI
sourceURI.properties.each { i -> 
    println i
}

I get the following, useful results (note the value in path): 

rawAuthority=null
opaque=false
scheme=file
rawQuery=null
port=-1
rawUserInfo=null
path=/home/ttresans/GroovyScripts/TestSourceURI.groovy
class=class java.net.URI
absolute=true
schemeSpecificPart=/home/ttresans/GroovyScripts/TestSourceURI.groovy
rawPath=/home/ttresans/GroovyScripts/TestSourceURI.groovy
query=null
fragment=null
host=null
authority=null
rawFragment=null
userInfo=null
rawSchemeSpecificPart=/home/ttresans/GroovyScripts/TestSourceURI.groovy

But if I paste the same thing into the GroovyConsole, I get the following:

rawAuthority=null
opaque=true
scheme=data
rawQuery=null
port=-1
rawUserInfo=null
path=null
class=class java.net.URI
absolute=true
schemeSpecificPart=,@groovy.transform.SourceURI def sourceURI
assert sourceURI instanceof java.net.URI
sourceURI.properties.each { i -> 
    println i
}

rawPath=null
query=null
fragment=null
host=null
authority=null
rawFragment=null
userInfo=null
rawSchemeSpecificPart=,@groovy.transform.SourceURI%20def%20sourceURI%0Aassert%20sourceURI%20instanceof%20java.net.URI%0AsourceURI.properties.each%20%7B%20i%20-%3E%20%0A%20%20%20%20println%20i%0A%7D%0A

This is on Groovy 2.3.9 on Ubuntu.

So it seems like the GroovyConsole's startup might be a problem, but the annotation does in fact produce the desired path.

Have you tried going through the protection domain, like this:

How do you get the path of the running script in groovy?
