Maven archetype raise error on executing Groovy script


I made a custom maven Archetype and based on the Maven Documentation, added the file archetype-post-generate.groovy to the src/main/resources/META-INF folder.
In this groovy script I want to connect to a database and take some actions according to the data.
The script is as follow:

import groovy.sql.Sql

Sql.withInstance(
        'jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=db;',
        'sa',
        'pass',
        'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver') { sql ->
    List rows = sql.rows('SELECT top 5 id, description FROM Project')
    for(row in rows) {
        println row.getProperty("id")
        println row.getProperty("description")
        println "/*************\\"
    }
}

After installing the archetype when I generate a module with it, once the script is executed, the following error is raised:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.2.0:generate (default-cli) on project standalone-pom: startup failed:
Script1.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class groovy.sql.Sql
 @ line 1, column 1.
   import groovy.sql.Sql
   ^

1 error

Is there any solution to resolve this problem?


Solution

  • According to @emilles's guidance and Groovy documentation, we can add any library to the classpath of script using the @Grab annotation.
    For example:

    @Grab('org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-sql:2.4.16')
    @Grab('com.microsoft.sqlserver:mssql-jdbc:8.4.1.jre8')
