// this statement breaks if eventTo is not a Date!
eventTo.after(event)

If placed in the selftests/tests/ directory of webtest, it can be
called with:
bin/webtest.sh functionalTest -DtestScript groovyDefNoDef
The script shows that
1) scriptStep and groovy succeed without the def,
2) and both fail with a def, but with different exceptions.
Why can't both steps behave in the same way?
I think I could understand why it fails in the groovy case:
a def name would only be known in the scope it is defined,
and the scope would be the statements in the script.
But then I would expect this rule to hold for method too:
def m2(text) {
m1(text)
}
def m1(text) {
println(text)
}
m2("hello")
Perplexed, and waiting for the groovy book ;-)

If at all, that's a bug in Groovy, not in ScriptStep.
Anyway I don't think, that is the case either.
I'm a bit puzzled by the sequence of steps.
What exact sequence leads to the error?
(please include all declarations)

Subject: [Webtest] Bug in ScriptStep?
Hi
I've just found a very un-intuitive behavior in ScriptStep: at least
in groovy code, an ant property name hides a groovy variable name!
I have a webtest that defines the tthe ant property ${eventFrom}.
The test then calls this groovy code through scriptStep:
def makeDate(event) {
// convert the string to a GregorianCalendar and returns it
// return new GregorianCalendar(event)
}
eventFrom = makeDate(step.project.properties.eventFrom)
// in real text, extract the event date form the current response
thisEvent = makeDate('22.3.2006')
// compares two Calendar objects
assert eventFrom.before(thisEvent)
This groovy code works, but if I change to
def eventFrom = makeDate(step.project.properties.eventFrom)
The test breaks with
"No signature of method java.lang.String.before() is applicable for
argument types (java.util.GregorianCalendar ...)"
Groovy used the ant property instead of its own variable. I would
expect the groovy code to take precedence over the enclosing webtest
stuff, as the groovy code is the nearer scope.
Is this really the desired behavior?
How is it with other scripting language?
Best
