Hi, I want to upload a script to a Nexus instance, to make it available via the script API. It is a more complicated, than a simple oneliner, so I tried to set up a Nexus 3 Groovy Script development environment based on this article: > **[Nexus Repository 3 Groovy Script development environment setup](https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015812727-Nexus-Repository-3-Groovy-Script-development-environment-setup)** > >   > Note: Groovy scripting is disabled by default for security reasons. Development work on the groovy API was halted, and it will eventually be fully deprecated.  Groovy scripting can also cause per... When I try to upload the script to the instance via the command ``` groovy addUpdateScript.groovy -u admin -p admin -f nexus-script-example\src\main\groovy\allAssetLister.groovy -n test -h ``` I get the below error. Any suggestions?

Looks like the machine you’re running the addUpdateScript.groovy from either doesn’t have internet access, or there is something wrong with the groovy grapes configuration. Either way, the dependencies needed by that script can’t be downloaded. Note that you don’t have to use the addUpdateScript.groovy, You can just use the REST API: [https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/rest-and-integration-api/script-api/managing-and-running-scripts](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/rest-and-integration-api/script-api/managing-and-running-scripts) ---

The REST API would be perfectly enough for me, but can I upload multiline scripts with it? ---

The following gist contains a few examples of single and multiline groovy scripts and a bash script which can upload them via the REST API. > > > There are more than three files. show original The pertinent part is line [L33 in the bash script](https://gist.github.com/HokieGeek/a9d9759e60732e9d4169d40e6279345e#file-rm3-script-sh-L33) `"content": "$(sed '/^$/d; /^\/\//d; s/"/\\"/g' ${script} | tr '\n' ';')",` which is taking the multiline script and performing the following transformations: - Removes empty lines - Removes line comments - Escapes double quotes `\\"` - Replaces newlines with semicolons
