I am having the same issue, I tried with both ReadyAPI 3.60 and 3.61.

The issue occurred after putting our groovy scripts under <ReadyAPI Install Dir>/bin/scripts . This is new change from ReadyAPI

It was working fine using ReadyAPI 3.56.0 and the groovy script can be anywhere in our local machine.
