"No such file ..." error on run-groovy command

[abhi18av]

Hi @russel

I wish to use the groovy-mode and I've installed it from MELPA via package manager. Syntax-highlight etc are working fine but when I do run-groovy command the inferior groovy buffer opens up and throws the error
No such file or directory

I've have checked that the groovysh etc commands are working fine. I used brew install groovy for the installation. Is this a path config error, how to correct it?

I've tried out the suggestions in #30 without any success.

On the one hand I can be smug – it works for me. On the other hand we need to make it work for you.

The problem with the error message No such file or directory it is not clear which file is being sought. If groovysh is on you PATH then perhaps the problem is that the file inf-groovy.el is not in the same directory as groovy-mode.el?

[abhi18av]

No, that's not the case since it's all in the ~/.emacs.d/elpa/groovy-mode/ so that's not an issue. Still, I do notice that when the inferior-groovy shell pops up, it's initial directory is in emacs(?) which is something new for me. Normally, the directory path is set to the current directory

The only file path I can see with a quick look is the path to groovy and groovysh. The assumption is $GROOVY_HOME/bin/{groovy,groovysh} (with a .bat extension on Windows).

[abhi18av]

Yeah, but do I still need to set it explicitly even if the groovysh command works. Please let me know if there's some shell-magic involved :)

[abhi18av]

Okay, so I've made some progress. I just reinstalled groovy using sdkman and this time echo $GROOVY_HOME does print out the home directory.

But, the the problem is still the same in emacs inferior groovy shell. What's your say @russel ?

[russel]

We have changed the Groovy mode from being a CC-Mode derived one to being a standalone one. We are therefore closing all issues relating to the old mode. If you try the new mode and see any problems please post a new issue.
