Cannot find parser that supports .groovy

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?

I have never used the groovy parser myself but it seems to be a plugin. So I guess you need extra-download the plugin and include the jar in your classpath. Did you do that? – Jens
I did but no reaction. Still the same. – user2620644
Edit you question and show how you did it. Presumably you did something wrong if liquibase can't find it. – Jens
You could try to add it to the classpath on commandline. java -jar liquibase.jar --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 update. Also, you should not have build anything. Just download the release for the groovy plugin here: github.com/liquibase/liquibase-groovy-dsl/releases. – Jens
But that release doesn't contain any jars that have to be added to classpath. I need to build that project to obtain jars, right? – user2620644

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
