Execute external groovy script from Maven

Question

I have a maven project with nothing related to groovy in pom.xml. And I just want to execute a groovy script test.groovy in the root of my project with access to all project's classes.

so I try to run an command:

mvn groovy:execute -Dsource=test.groovy

but it tells me that:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:groovy-maven-plugin:1.5:execute (default-cli) on project modules-journal:
The parameters 'source' for goal org.codehaus.mojo:groovy-maven-plugin:1.5:execute are missing or invalid -> [Help 1]

what is wrong?

mvn groovy:shell works perfectly, but I want to run predefined script.

does `test.groovy` exist in the current directory? Does `mvn groovy:execute -Dsource=./test.groovy` work? — tim_yates, Sep 17 '15 at 09:29
Yes it really exists. But `-Dsource=./test.groovy` and `-Dsource=[full-path-to-script]` gives same results — Николай Митропольский, Sep 17 '15 at 09:41

It fails with groovy-maven-plugin in version 1.5, but it works great with version 2.0.

Oyee! `mvn org.codehaus.gmaven:groovy-maven-plugin:2.0:execute -Dsource=test.groovy -Dscope=test` finally works for me. Thank you. – Николай Митропольский Sep 17 '15 at 12:20
