Hello, 

I want to call an already uploaded groovy script (via https://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/3.0/reference/scripting.html#scripting-configuration) from a Script Task in Nexus 3.6. 

Note: My requirement to call an uploaded script via a task is causesd by some automation limitations I have with my puppet code which I can not easily change.

Assuming I have uploaded my Script with 

# File MyScript123.json
{
  "name": "MyScript123",
  "type": "groovy",
  "content": "repository.createMavenHosted('private')"
}

curl -v -X POST -u username:password --header "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://localhost:8081/service/siesta/rest/v1/script' -d @MyScript123.json

Can someone point me to the Groovy Code I have to call ( in the "Script Task") to call an Script uploaded as "MyScript123" with parameters ? 

Regards, 
Robert

I'm a little confused, but it looks like you want to create a new maven repository, but you need to initiate the call from the scheduled task.

The "Script Task" and "Integrations API" are basically the same, so you can just put "repository.createMavenHosted('private')" in your scheduled task configuration and run the task.

Hello, 

actually the example Above is really just an Example.

I want to upload a rather large groovy script and reverence it multiple times in Tasks (calling it with different options doing different things) without storing multiple copies of the script.

Any Idea ?

Regards, 
Robert

Here's how you can execute a stored Script from another Script (whether run as a Scheduled Task or not):
import org.sonatype.nexus.script.ScriptManager
import org.sonatype.nexus.common.script.ScriptService

def scriptManager = container.lookup(ScriptManager.name)
def scriptService = container.lookup(ScriptService.name)
def script = scriptManager.get('test')
Object result = scriptService.eval(script.type, script.content, [log:log])

Hopefully this gets you where you want to go :)

Hi Robert,

I am working on a similar concept, although not strictly equal. I am setting up some scripts to provision the configuration of Nexus upon installation, so I also need to reuse a bunch of code and copying and pasting it in many different places is definitely not the Good Way (TM) of doing that. That said, what I came up with was:

Inside the folder /my/nexus/groovy/lib I can then drop as many scripts as I want. In order to provide some consistency, I am going to write an public interface definition that will define a "standard" method signature to be called from this script above, passing the parameters and whatever else is necessary.

Not calling other scripts registered in nexus, but calling whichever classes I put into that one particular directory in the filesystem.

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Alexei
