Hmm that's interesting. The final / in that path is index 81 so its whatever char comes after that in the path which is not parsable. Looks to me like an illegal non-printing character is terminating the path string for some reason. Any of our windows users have any ideas regarding this?

Shorten the path does not help, got the same error from different machine.

Looks like the wildcard character "*" lost during copy/paste. "Illegal char <*> at index 22: G:/GremlinConsole/ext/*"

G:\GremlinConsole>java -version java version "1.8.0_371" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_371-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.371-b11, mixed mode) The gremlin console version 3.4.13 succeeds, but the same exception when run gremlin console version 3.5.6 as well as 3.6.4.

This seems to be related to the Groovy upgrade/changes we made recently. There are two simple workarounds right now. 1) Use a later version of Java. This seems to only affect Java 8. Works with Java 11 and later. 2) Temporarily revert to 3.5.5 or 3.6.2 as those were the versions before the Groovy update. It should also be noted that the Console works in 3.6.4 when used directly without the bat file. I'm still looking into the root cause but hopefully one of these workarounds will help you out for now.

For anyone interested, @Kennh has put in a PR for the fix with a separate gremlin-java8.bat for Java 8 and Windows https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/2086. Once merged, this will be packaged in the next console release artifact.

@Boxuan Li , the gremlin.bat wasn't fixed. You need to use the gremlin-java8.bat instead. Theres an argument to be made that we should just replace the gremlin.bat with gremlin-java8.bat.

I see, thanks! I am using jdk-11 now anyways, and it's working smoothly
