Can't run a groovy script in powershell (May apply to some java scripts as well)

[BillKress]

jbang version 0.117.1

If you run "jbang hello.groovy" in a powershell window you will see this error:

Error: Could not find or load main class .grape.enable=false
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: /grape/enable=false

The groovy script runner sets an option -Dgroovy.grape.enable=false to disable grape, however powershell treats the = specially.
I don't use other -D= options, but I assume they might cause problems as well.

I'm almost certain the same thing would happen if you passed a -D parameter to Java using the //JAVA-OPTIONS or //JAVAC-OPTIONS in Powershell.

I think the fix is to put quotes around any options containing equals signs when running in powershell.

Workaround? Use CMD or bash for now, but since windows is moving away from cmd towards powershell I expect you'll see this more often.

Great application, thank you!

Fall on the same error.
Had to put double-quotes to run :
java.exe -D"groovy.grape.enable"=false -classpath 'C:\Users\myself.jbang\cache\jars\essai_groovy.groovy.9c8ab994d36a50f563de8e8475de7a4e4b20a0eb72f947362facd9f04c7bce16\essai_groovy.jar;C:\Users\myself.m2\repository\org\apache\groovy\groovy\4.0.14\groovy-4.0.14.jar' Main

Maybe just putting double-quotes arround groovy.grape.enable could solve the issue :
List gopts = Collections.singletonList("-D\"groovy.grape.enable\"=false");
