# Class GroovyRuntime

java.lang.Object
org.gradle.api.tasks.GroovyRuntime

public abstract class GroovyRuntime extends Object
Provides information related to the Groovy runtime(s) used in a project. Added by the `GroovyBasePlugin` as a project extension named `groovyRuntime`.

Example usage:

         plugins {
             id 'groovy'
         }

         repositories {
             mavenCentral()
         }

         dependencies {
             implementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.1.2"
         }

         def groovyClasspath = groovyRuntime.inferGroovyClasspath(configurations.compileClasspath)
         // The returned class path can be used to configure the 'groovyClasspath' property of tasks
         // such as 'GroovyCompile' or 'Groovydoc', or to execute these and other Groovy tools directly.

  - ### inferGroovyClasspath

    public FileCollection inferGroovyClasspath(Iterable<File> classpath)
    Searches the specified class path for Groovy Jars (`groovy(-indy)`, `groovy-all(-indy)`) and returns a corresponding class path for executing Groovy tools such as the Groovy compiler and Groovydoc tool. The tool versions will match those of the Groovy Jars found. If no Groovy Jars are found on the specified class path, a class path with the contents of the `groovy` configuration will be returned.

    The returned class path may be empty, or may fail to resolve when asked for its contents.

    Parameters:
      `classpath` - a class path containing Groovy Jars
    Returns:
      a corresponding class path for executing Groovy tools such as the Groovy compiler and Groovydoc tool
