New to Groovy - question on code in documentation
Hi,
As the subject says, I’ve just gotten started with learning Groovy and have been going through the documentation.
There is some code in the section on files that is not explained. If someone could clarify that, it would be great:
doInTmpDir { b ->
File file = null
def tmpDir = b.tmp {
file = 'foo.tmp'('foo')
}
What does ‘foo.tmp’(‘foo’) do?
I tried to put this into groovysh but it complained: No signature of method: groovysh_evaluate.foo.tmp() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [foo]
Thanks in advance.
Les

Thanks! I’ll go read that part of the docs.

Not in that context :) But in the context of the FileTreeBuilder, it is!
See

Glad I could help! :-)
So that syntax on the assignment to ‘file’ is not legal?

Oh, that's a good catch. this shouldn't appear in the docs. It's a side
effect of an unclosed tag in our test files:
https://github.com/melix/groovy-core/blob/bf8c4b54863ddf045760fb55db60c098a8df3616/src/spec/test/gdk/WorkingWithIOSpecTest.groovy#L313-323
The end:: tag doesn't correspond to the opening tag::, so asciidoctor
scrambled the output. Will fix it!

Still too new to the group. But you might want to do it yourself just to capture the fix in the system.
I read the link you sent. I thought that might have been what was intended, but since groovysh was throwing an error, I wasn’t sure.
Thanks again!

In case you were tempted at making a PR, I already fixed it ;)

The error code is in the GDK documentation under “Working with I/O” in section 1.5 “Executing External Processes”.
