Cannot find parser that supports .groovy

Question

When I'm trying to start changelog.groovy via liquibase command line it tells me that

Unexpected error running Liquibase: Cannot find parser that supports changelog.groovy

I'm doing the next: java -jar liquibase.jar update

My liquibase.properties are:

• driver=org.postgresql.Driver
• classpath=C:\Users\Andrii\org.postgresql.Driver.jar;C:\Users\Andrii\liquibase-3.5.1-bin\lib\liquibase-groovy-dsl-1.2.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
• changeLogFile=D:\changelog.groovy
• url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test
• username=postgres
• password=rup

It finds those jars since if I change something in that path it will tell that jars cannot be found.

I downloaded the groovy-liquibase-dsl project, build it and added a jar into classpath. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

To make it work, you need to additionally include groovy and groovy-sql jars in Liquibase's classpath.

So say you store all the jars in C:\Users\Andrii\LiquibaseDependencies, update your the classpath property of your file as such:

classpath=C:\Users\Andrii\LiquibaseDependencies\org.postgresql.Driver.jar;
C:\Users\Andrii\LiquibaseDependencies\liquibase-groovy-dsl-1.2.1.jar;
C:\Users\Andrii\LiquibaseDependencies\groovy-2.4.6.jar;
C:\Users\Andrii\LiquibaseDependencies\groovy-sql-2.4.6.jar
