Could not find class, check it is under a 'scripts directory': java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

I'm getting below error when i'm trying to add groovy class file under custom listner

JIRA 6.3.7

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

Where have you placed the class exactly?  jira-home/???/???/??? etc?

[Paresh Gandhi]

/opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/com/icg

[Paresh Gandhi]

it was working fine before jira upgrade 6.2

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, which version of the script runner are you using now? If you've moved from 2.something to 3.something, then the script location handling has changed and you'll need to handle that.

[Paresh Gandhi]

i was on 2.1.17 and moved to 3.0.6 how do i handle it?

[Paresh Gandhi]

Do i need to update setenv.sh with below set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dplugin.script.roots=//pt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/com/icg

Hei, well you could copy the class into <jira-home>/scripts/com/icg/ then the class would be accessible from a custom listener as "com.icg.<className>" (please notice the missing '.groovy' extension)

thanks, this worked.

Thank you Michal and Nic. Covered here: https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Upgrading+to+3.0

Thanks Jamie, that's where I was headed when I asked about the versions!

[Paresh Gandhi]

Thank you guys. I was able to add those files successfully yesterday however today, when I tried to 'update' listener under 'script listners', it is throwing below error Problem loading class: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/scripts/com/icg/UpdateSummary.groovy: 9: Invalid duplicate class definition of class UpdateSummary : The sources /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/scripts/com/icg/UpdateSummary.groovy and file:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira/scripts/com/icg/UpdateSummary.groovy each contain a class with the name UpdateSummary. @ line 9, column 1. class UpdateSummary extends AbstractIssueEventListener { ^ 1 error

I marked Nic's answer as correct as you've cross-posted this last question.
