Re: Groovy script error in OFBiz

I did some testing and I have found the first release that causes the error: it's 2.3.0 (it works until the 2.2.2 release).

Re: Groovy script error in OFBiz

Posted by Jacopo Cappellato <ja...@gmail.com>.
I have discovered that the error disappears after the execution of any script containing:

@BaseScript(org.ofbiz.service.engine.GroovyBaseScript)
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

Is there a chance that with the implementation of @BaseScript annotations (introduced with 2.3.0, see for example GROOVY-6592) something was broken in the CompilerConfiguration
.setScriptBaseClass method?
