SQLcl - alias causes ScriptParser error, or user error?

I discovered the latest version of SQLcl , so remove the older and unzipped the new. Now when I try to run my alias commands they fail.

Anyone have an ideas?  Maybe I need to reinstall instantclient 11.2?

    The fred and sessions cases both work fine on Windows for 4.2.0.16.049.0842 RC.  Does your sqlcl/aliases.xml file contain something like...

    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<aliases>
   <alias name="fred">
      <description/>
      <queries>
         <query>
            <sql><![CDATA[select :one from dual]]></sql>
         </query>
      </queries>
   </alias>
</aliases>

    Hi Gary,

    Yes, and just to be sure, I removed the aliases.xml file and had it automagically create a new empty one by sqlcl.

    SQL    >alias list

    locks    - locks <USERNAME>

    sessions

    tables   - tables <schema> - show tables from schema

    tables2  - tables <schema> - show tables from schema

    exit

    $     cat aliases.xml

    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>

    <aliases/>

    SQL    >alias fred=select :one from dual;

    SQL    >alias list

    fred   

    locks    - locks <USERNAME>

    sessions

    tables   - tables <schema> - show tables from schema

    tables2  - tables <schema> - show tables from schema

    SQL    >fred 1

                <sql><![CDATA[select :one from dual]]></sql>

             </query>

          </queries>

       </alias>

    </aliases>

    I will reinstall my Instantclient and sqlcl and see if it gets resolved.

    Update, I reinstalled InstantClient 11.2 and SQLcl, and the error persists.

    What dependencies should I be looking for to make sure nothing else in my OSX environment is causing this issue?

    Thanks!

    There are very old discussions where a bug in unarchiver resulted in bad SQL Developer installations with missing class files:

    Oracle SQL Developer 2.1 EA1 and 1.5.5 not working on MacOS X Snow Leopard

    but it seems doubtful that is your issue.

    If you also have SQL Developer installed, you may wish to test and see if fred sysdate produces the same error in a worksheet.

    The "alias" works in sql developer :

    Oracle SQL Developer 4.1.3.20

    Version 4.1.3.20

    Build MAIN-20.78

    IDE Version: 12.2.1.0.42.151001.0541

    Product ID: oracle.sqldeveloper

    Product Version: 12.2.0.20.78

    Oracle IDE    4.1.3.20.78

    Java(TM) Platform    1.8.0_45

    I will review that other Discussions and see if it helps.

    Thanks,

    Craig

    So,, I decided to roll back to the previous version, one jar file at a time, until I found the one that resolves this.

    4647551 Feb 26 09:37 oracle.dbtools-common.jar -- does not work well = SQLcl  4.2.0.16.049.0842 RC on OSX 10.11.3

    4538654 Feb  4 08:21 oracle.dbtools-common.jar -- puuuurrfect = SQLcl  4.2.0.15.349.0706 RC on OSX 10.11.3

    So what changed in those jar files to cause this issue on OSX, or what in OSX is causing this issue to manifest with the new jar file?

    Any ideas, or should I revert to older version of sqlcl?

    Thanks!

    Craig

    Active development continues on SQLcl. Many improvements / fixes occurred between mid-December and the recent February update, and still more since then.  If the loss of functionality caused by this regression is critical for you, then reverting to the prior update is all I can recommend at this time. There are several on our team using OS X, so it is likely someone will post here with advice or questions in the coming week.
