Jex Jexler commented on GROOVY-7407:
------------------------------------
(I have removed a couple of recent comments plus stacktrace, because this
specific case also occurred if the JAR (apache httpclient 4.4.1) was not loaded
via grape but added statically to the class path, so Grape/Ivy could not cause
it.)
> Compilation not thread safe if Grape / Ivy is used in Groovy scripts

> Key: GROOVY-7407
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7407
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compiler, Grape
> Affects Versions: 2.4.3
> Environment: Essentially independent of the environment, as long as
> Groovy scripts use Grape; also this bug seems to be present since at least
> Groovy 1.7.5.
> Reporter: Jex Jexler
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Compile, Grape, Groovy, Ivy
> Attachments: GrapeAndGroovyShellConcurrencyTest.java,
> GroovyCompileConcurrencyTest.java,
> stacktrace-GrapeAndGroovyShellConcurrencyTest-1.txt,
> stacktrace-GrapeAndGroovyShellConcurrencyTest-2.txt,

> If Groovy scripts that import the same libraries via Grape are compiled in
> separate threads, compilation may fail due to race conditions.
> This does not happen if several threads use the *same* instance of
> GroovyClassLoader (GCL), because parseClass() uses synchronization.
> But as soon as different GCLs are used in separate threads or if the compiler
> is used directly (CompilationUnit.compile()), the issue occurs and
> compilation can fail.
> Two Java unit tests have be attached, which reproduce the issue, although
> this cannot be guaranteed with 100% certainty, because there is a race
> condition.
> Two different stacktraces have been observed for each unit test (with origins
> in Grape and in Ivy), which have also been attached (plus in a different
> environment (Tomcat webapp CentOS) once a an exception down in Ivy had been
> observed that seemed to be related to unzipping a JAR file, but no precise
> record of that exists any more).
