Looks to me like stage is a method or a closure that takes 2 args. The first is 
a string, the second is a closure.

Subject: Help with Groovy syntax

I'm 4 days old new to Groovy. I bought a book, but I just want to learn what 
this syntax mean for today.

We use Groovy to run a Jenkins file in our Jenkins build. One stage has these 
statements in it.


    def mainScmDetails

    stage("Checkout") {

        mainScmDetails = checkout scm

        dir("some-dir") {

            git url: 
'g...@domain.com/path/project.git<http://g...@domain.com/path/project.git>', 
credentialsId: 'some_creds', branch: 'develop'

        }

    }



Does this define a code block named mainScmDetails? Does the statement...

mainScmDetails = checkout scm

...call two functions, namely, checkout and scm?

Thanks,

Chris
