I have a Groovy class that has no constructor, and contains only static methods. In GroovyConsole, after importing the class and then trying to call a static method of the class, I get a

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.boblablob.lawblog.bla.Person
    at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
    at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:274)
    at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
    at ConsoleScript23.run(ConsoleScript23:4)

How can I call a class's static method in Groovy Console?

Do you have sample code? Sometimes the devil is in the details. – BalRog Nov 04 '16 at 19:24
@BalRog, I'm running the below in Grails Console: `import com.boblablob.lawblog.bla.Person` `Person.someStaticMethod()` – dmux Nov 04 '16 at 19:51
Groovy console, or Grails console? – tim_yates Nov 04 '16 at 20:13

Missing the library in your classpath? – Rao Nov 05 '16 at 02:14
