Calling ruby script from groovy

Question

I have a groovy script and I need to call a ruby script.

I would like to pass arguments to Ruby script and would like to capture the output from Ruby script to use it in Groovy Script. Can somebody suggest how I can do this? I tried Process.execute(). It works for other dos commands but not for cmd /c ruby test.rb.

Since a ruby file isn't a batch file you don't need to use cmd to execute it. You could do

Process.execute("ruby.exe test.rb")

Assuming ruby.exe is on your path. Another option depending on your requirements may be to use JRuby which will allow you to run ruby code on the JVm and integrate nicely with Groovy.
