I have built a program in java, and running it in IntelliJ is fine, but when I build the artifact (jar) and run it in the command prompt on my computer, it throws the IllegalArgumentException.

I am using java-json.jar as my library to make a string (that is in JSON form) into a JSON object so that I can iterate through it and display the information as needed.

Here are the results of running the program in CMD:

    C:\Users\DeskTop\IdeaProjects\OperationGamerProfile\out\artifacts\OperationGamerProfile_jar>java -jar OperationGamerProfile.jar

Here is the htmlGetRequest method: 

private static String htmlGetRequest(String urlToRead) throws Exception {
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
        URL url = new URL(urlToRead);
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
        BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
        String line;
        while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
            result.append(line);
        }
        rd.close();
        return result.toString();
    }

Here is the code with the JSON: 

try {

        String result = htmlGetRequest(url);
        System.out.println("Result: " + result);
        System.out.println();

        System.out.println("Starting JSONObjects");

        ***//ERROR STARTS HERE***
        JSONObject jsonobject = new JSONObject(result);

        System.out.println("Built object");

        JSONArray jsonArray = jsonobject.getJSONArray("characters");

        System.out.println("Built Array");

        for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
            JSONObject explrObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
            String gender;
            if (explrObject.get("gender").toString().equals("0")) {
                gender = "Male";
            } else {
                gender = "Female";
            }

            String charClass = "";
            switch(explrObject.get("class").toString()) {
                case "1": charClass =  "Warrior"; break;

                            "\t Gender: %s\n" +
                            "\t Class: %s\n"
                    , i+1, explrObject.get("name"), explrObject.get("level"), gender, charClass);
            System.out.println();
        }

        System.out.println("Done displaying JSON Data...\nExiting program...");

    } catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

At first I was getting NoClassDefFoundError, and ended up finding the classpath in IntelliJ and pasted this into it: "set classpath=%classpath%;.;", that seemed to fix the problem of the class not being found, but led to the error of IllegalArgumentException.

If anyone is able to help here, I would greatly appreciate it, if you need anymore details of the program, I am happy to provide them.

Sorry for the spaghetti code...

    Please copy the stacktrace from cmd to your post and remove the attached picture. – samabcde Nov 26 '18 at 02:25
  • @samabcde Done :) – Tyler Nov 26 '18 at 17:50
  • Is `result` really a parseable `json` `string`? If so, you should probably change the name of the `getHTML` method. – The Head Rush Nov 26 '18 at 18:01
  • @TheHeadRush Oh, I see how that could be a confusing name. `getHTML` is going to blizzard and requesting my character list from them. I'll edit the post and give you the contents of `result` at the bottom of it. – Tyler Nov 26 '18 at 18:04
  • @TheHeadRush I'm going to change getHTML to htmlGetRequest, because it is a get request, thanks for the input on that. :) – Tyler Nov 26 '18 at 18:10
  • For future, there is no `System.out.println("Result: " + result);` in you console before error. it means that the source of the error are lines before : `htmlGetRequest(url);`. – uli Nov 26 '18 at 18:13
  • @uli It was there, I took it out so that the code screen wasn't so large, but now I see how it is needed. At the bottom of the post the string is posted. I'll update the post to reflect the actual cmd screen fully, sorry... – Tyler Nov 26 '18 at 18:16
  • I have added the full console result, as well as the `htmlGetRequest` method, and the `result` string. – Tyler Nov 26 '18 at 18:22
  • Are you using `org.json.simple.JSONObject ` ? What version of it are you using? From [github](https://github.com/fangyidong/json-simple/blob/master/src/main/java/org/json/simple/JSONObject.java) it has no arguments constructor or `public JSONObject(Map map)`. There is no version with string. – uli Nov 26 '18 at 18:25
  • In my imports I am using `import org.json.JSONArray;` `import org.json.JSONObject;` But what confuses me is that it works when I run the program in IntelliJ, just not in the command prompt. Could it be something with the project structure itself? Or how the jar is processed? – Tyler Nov 26 '18 at 18:27
  • This is strange JSONObject can throw only JSONException and not a IlegalArgumentException. Are you using maven? Have you build jar with dependency? Try to add to your pom [plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/usage.html) – uli Nov 26 '18 at 18:38
  • I don't know what maven is, so I don't think I am using it. Could it be that the library file with the jar isn't being found by the command prompt? – Tyler Nov 26 '18 at 18:39
  • Then you are missing dependencies. Just `java -jar OperationGamerProfile.jar` is not enough. Look into [answers](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2910115/include-external-jar-when-running-java-jar) – uli Nov 26 '18 at 18:41
  • I'll take a look, Thanks! – Tyler Nov 26 '18 at 20:13
