Urgent: How to resolve Error Grabbin Grabes

Hello there!

Sounds like there's something going on with grabbing grapes on your system.
Usually pretty hard to see exactly why. It could be that your system is behind some proxy which makes it impossible to download it.
It might be that you have some version mismatch, and in that case i strongly recommend you to move your $USER_HOME/.groovy/grapes folder somewhere and let LoadUI download all the grapes anew.

Check it out, and get back if it worked out or broke down.

Best regards,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,

Thanks for your mail.
i followed your instructions and installed load ui on a pc which didn't had groovy installed previously. I also ensured that the firewall doesn't block any download.
Now I am getting slightly different error in system log...
JavaFX2 bundle started, is Headless mode ? false

The error in output table remains the same. Just wanted to let you know that i am using LoadUi 2.6.8 and script contains grab command like this...
@Grab(group='org.apache.httpcomponents', module='httpclient', version='4.3.2')

Please let me what is going wrong?
It will be a great help.

Thanks & regards,
Anoop.

Hi Annop,

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue.
Several things could be going wrong for you, but I think the first thing to do would be to try and change the version of httpclient you're using from 4.3.2 to 4.3. The reason is that LoadUI actually comes with this version already provided, so Grapes doesn't have to download it.

Once you confirm you can use this version, we can try to figure out why you can't download using Grapes.

Can you write this script in the Groovy console and see if it correctly downloads the httpclient library:

@Grab(group='org.apache.httpcomponents', module='httpclient', version='4.3.2')

import org.apache.http.*

println Consts

If this works, then LoadUI should also have worked.

Please let us know whether the above works for you.

By the way, if this did work, you can work-around the problem for now by copying this library's folders from the default grapes directory (~/.groovy/grapes) to the LoadUI grapes (~/.loadui/.groovy/grapes).

Hi Renato,

Thanks for your mail.
I changed 4.3.2 httpclient version to 4.3 but it didn't work.
Then i worked on your next work around of copying grapes libraries into load ui grapes and it worked for me.
But now i am getting error of unresolved class...it says

startup failed:

Could you please help me on how to fix these issues? Which libraries i need to copy ?

Thanks & regards,
Anoop.

Hi again,

It looks like you need quite a few other libraries for your script to work.
Can I ask you how you're using LoadUI? You are trying to write your own component?

Looks like you need the httpmime library and some grails libraries as well.

Have you ever got this script running, even outside LoadUI? If you did, you probably should have access to all the libraries which are required.... you may add all library jars to the 'ext' folder inside your LoadUI installation. This way, you won't even need to use Grapes to get them.

I should also mention that if you are a LoadUI Pro customer, we can provide more detailed support if you use our support channel:

Hi Renato,

Thanks a lot.....its working for me now.
Copying all the required libraries and jars in 'ext' folder under Load Ui installation solved all issues.

Great help. Thanks for the proper guidance.

Thanks & regards,
Anoop.
