    Description

      in groovy sh, when you import class that doesn't exist, the error you see is NullPointer instead of class not found.

      I tracked the problem to ImportCommand class

       

      catch (CompilationFailedException e) {
    def msg = "Invalid import definition: '${importSpec}'; reason: $e.message" // TODO: i18n
    log.debug(msg, e)
    fail(msg)
}
finally {
    // Remove the class generated while testing the import syntax
    classLoader.removeClassCacheEntry(type?.name) <-- null is passed to remove call inside
}
 

      I don't know the process, but I wouldn't mind to create PR
