Groovyserv broken on macOS 10.13 High Sierra

[fvanwesterop]

I upgraded my mac to High Sierra by wiping the disk and installing from scratch a few days ago. Groovy and Java are working fine (both installed with SDKMan). Now I installed groovyserv again too, but it seems to be broken, perhaps it can't deal with macOS 10.13 yet?.

## Software versions:
macOS 10.13 (17A365), Kernel Version: Darwin 17.0.0
Groovy 2.4.12
Java 1.8.0_144 Vendor: Azul Systems, Inc.
Groovyserv 1.1.0
Homebrew 1.3.4 (git revision efc2; last commit 2017-10-07)
SDKMAN 5.5.11+256

## WHEN installing with SDKMan:

➜ ~ sdk i groovyserv 1.1.0
Downloading: groovyserv 1.1.0

In progress...

Setting groovyserv 1.1.0 as default.

## THEN running groovyclient fails:

➜ ~ groovyclient -v

It's required only just after installation. Please run the same command once again.
➜ ~ groovyclient -v

## AND remove brew install of Groovy 2.14.12 since it's already installed with SDKMan

➜ ~ brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies groovy

Noticed the following when running groovyserv with the --debug switch:

(...) GroovyServ default classpath: /usr/local/Cellar/groovyserv/1.1.0/libexec/lib/* 2017/10/07 22:36:58.838375 server.go:321: startInBackground: command: &exec.Cmd{Path:"/Users/frank/.sdkman/candidates/groovy/current/bin/groovy", Args:[]string{"/Users frank/.sdkman/candidates/groovy/current/bin/groovy", "-e", "groovyx.groovyserv.GroovyServer.main(args)", (...)

And it finishes with:

(...) Starting server......Caught: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: groovyx for class: script_from_command_line groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: groovyx for class: script_from_command_line at script_from_command_line.run(script_from_command_line:1)

So that property 'groovyx.groovyserv.GroovyServer.main(args)' seems to fall apart when it is interpreted.

Sorry for my late response.

It seems there is no compatibility for Go binary between Sierra and High-Sierra...
The binary you build by yourself on High-Sierra can work well. Could you build from source and use it?

I'm having the same issue, so will we have to wait until brew updates the the library?

[oliverfernandez]

@nobeans What's needed to fix this? Can I contribute somehow?

[nobeans]

Hi @oliverfernandez and all,

Sorry for too much late, but now finally v1.2.0 has just released to SDKman! Please try it!

[fvanwesterop]

Great! Indeed, it took a while but I can confirm version 1.2.0 does work on macOS 10.3.3 (High Siera). Thanks!
