Geb groovy simple setup, getting NoClassDefFoundError

I am learning Geb (and Groovy) from a Java background and it seems to me that I understand how Geb works, but I cannot even get the most basic configuration. Basically, I am getting the following error:

Caught: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: geb / error / GebException
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: geb / error / GebException
      on DriveIt.run (DriveIt.groovy: 15)
    Called: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: geb.error.GebException
      .. . 1 more

My class is very simple:

    import groovy.grape.Grape  
    // I have these out of desperation  
    Grape.grab(group:"org.gebish", module:"geb-core", version:"0.9.3")
    Grape.grab(group:"org.seleniumhq.selenium", module:"selenium-firefox-driver", version:"2.41.0")
    Grape.grab(group:"org.seleniumhq.selenium", module:"selenium-support", version:"2.41.0")

// basic imports here
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.*;
    import geb.Browser;

    Browser.drive {
        go "http://www.google.com"   
    }

With this simple code, I get an error on the "Browser.drive" line.

This is what my GebConfig.groovy file looks like:

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver

driver = {
    def driver = new ChromeDriver()
    driver
}

baseUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/'
reportsDir = 'target/geb-reports'

And one more note, I am using Eclipse, I have the jb jar correctly imported into the classpath. I don't seem to be doing anything wrong, but for the life of me I can’t figure out why I am getting the error "Browser" is not recognized.

Any help ??? you are welcome!!

You can download the required package via the command line using the command grape install org.gebish geb-core 0.9.3

.

You need to use it @Grab

as annotation to work. See: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Grape .



Alternatively, you might want to consider this sample project to learn how to use Geb with Gradle - using a build system to solve your problem, dependencies may be most reasonable in the long run.

For some reason, none of the solutions worked. Instead, I recreated a new Groovy project using Maven, which automatically downloaded all dependencies. Then I added the geb-core 0.9.3 dependency which finally fixed it.
