how to call a class in a different namespace?

[Hayato Iriumi]

Hello, everyone.

I'm trying to get started with Groovy unit test. My intention is to create reusable Groovy scripts along with unit test cases. As I'm new to Java space, I guess I'm missing something but I can't seem to figure out how to call a class in a different namespace. I have source code like the following below.

└── src
   └── com
       └── company
           ├── stuff1
           │   └── class1.groovy
           └── stuff2
               └── class2.groovy

And I have a simple code like the following in class1. It should be easy to image that class2 has a function sayHello() that prints "Hello from class2".

package com.company.stuff1 import com.company.stuff2.class2 public class class1 {        public static void main(String[] args)        {                def c2 = new class2()                c2.sayHello()        } }

When I run groovy class1.groovy, I get the following error.

/my/path/class1.groovy: 3: unable to resolve class com.company.stuff2.class2                                                                                                            
@ line 3, column 1.                                                                                              
  import com.company.stuff2.class2                                                                              
  ^                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                 
1 error                                                                                                          

How do I make sure to execute code in different namespace in Groovy?

Just like in Java, you need to specify the classpath so Java knows where to find the files.
