Unable to instantiate nested exception class due to constructor not found - groovy

I want to define a BarException inside of class Foo for namespacing reason. This is what my Foo class looks like:
package org.company.utils
class Foo {
class BarException extends RuntimeException { }
def raise() {
def r = new RuntimeException("BOOM")
throw new BarException(r)
}
}
This is how I would have liked it to work:
void testFoo() {
shouldFail(Foo.BarException) {
def foo = new Foo()
foo.raise()
}
}
But the test failed with:
1) testFoo(test.FooTestCase)java.lang.AssertionError: Closure
test.FooTestCase$_testFoo_closure1#3eb25e1a should have failed with an
exception of type org.company.utils.Foo$BarException, instead got
Exception groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find matching
constructor for:
org.company.utils.Foo$BarException(org.company.utils.Foo,
java.lang.RuntimeException)
I have tried instantiating BarException using new BarException(this, r), and putting groovy.transform.InheritConstructors around BarException, but nothing works for the compiler.
What's the problem?

Try making BarException static and add #InheritConstructors.
import groovy.transform.InheritConstructors
class Foo {
#InheritConstructors
static class BarException extends Exception { }
def raise() {
Throwable r = new RuntimeException("BOOM")
throw new BarException(r)
}
}
From the groovy docs:
The usage of static inner classes is the best supported one. If you
absolutely need an inner class, you should make it a static one.

Trying to call a function from inside the class in Groovy, getting MissingMethodException

I'm running the following code (in Jenkins script console):
def sayHello() {
println "Hello"
}
class MyClass {
MyClass() {
sayHello()
}
}
def a = new MyClass()
In all the good faith, I expect the constructor code to call the function that will print Hello.
Instead I get
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: MyClass.sayHello() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.unwrap(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:58)
What is going on here? I can't call the function from inside the class?
You get the error because you cannot access methods of one class from another class, unless you access an instance of that class.
In your case, the code is embedded automatically into a run() method inside the Main class derived from groovy.lang.Script. The class MyClass is an inner class of the Main class. See here Scripts versus classes.
Solution: to access the method sayHello() of the Main class, you must pass an instance of it, using this keyword:
def sayHello() {
println "Hello"
}
class MyClass {
MyClass(Script host) {
host.sayHello()
}
}
def a = new MyClass(this)
Not sure what and why you are trying to do, but the simplest option to call a "function" from a constructor inside a Script is to put it in another class:
class A {
static sayHello() {
println "Hello"
}
}
class MyClass {
MyClass() {
A.sayHello()
}
}
def a = new MyClass()

Groovy class factory pattern gives weird error

I am new to groovy and I am trying with some groovy code. I have this scenario. I have the following modules
package com.utils
abstract class Base {
static String data = ''
}
package com.utils
class A extends Base {
static String data = 'dummy'
}
package com.utils
class B extends Base {
static String data = 'dummy'
}
package com.utils
class ShapeFactory {
static Map <String,Object> shapes = [
"a": A,
"b": B
]
static Object get_shapes(String shape) {
return shapes.get(shape);
}
}
And in the main file I am using
and in the main file and here is where it fails with weird error. I couldn't identify the reason, I would appreciate any help.
import com.utils.ShapeFactory
def shapeA = ShapeFactory.get_shapes('a')
shapeA.data // here it fails with the below error
hudson.remoting.ProxyException: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException:
Cannot cast object '[]' with class 'java.util.ArrayList' to class 'java.util.Map'
due to: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException:
Could not find matching constructor for: java.util.Map()
Any help will be appreciated, Thanks
Apologies, I found the issue, In the Base class I had a Map variable as well which was initialized as an array
abstract class Base {
static String data = ''
static Map mapper = [] // This has to be [:]
}

Incorrect stack trace from an exception in a method copied from a groovy shell script

I have a groovy script that defines a method which throws an exception.
Using AST Transformations I generate at compile time a new class.
Then I copy this method from the script to this new class and make the class available at runtime.
When at runtime I create a new object of the new class and call the method in stack trace I can see references to Script1 class instead of the new generated class.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException
at MyGeneratedClass.myMethod(Script1.groovy:4)
at MyGeneratedClass$myMethod.call(Unknown Source)
at scripttest.ExTest.main(ExTest.groovy:35)
Is there anything I can do to change it so I don't see this Script1.groovy class in stack trace but the new class and line number within it?
My code:
class ExTest {
public static void main(String[] a) {
String script = '''
def myMethod() {
throw new RuntimeException()
}
'''
def config = new CompilerConfiguration()
config.addCompilationCustomizers(new MyCompilerConfiguration())
ClassLoader classLoaderToUse = new GroovyClassLoader()
GroovyShell shell = new GroovyShell(classLoaderToUse, new Binding(), config)
Script parsedScript = shell.parse(script)
def generatedClass = parsedScript.class.fields.find {it.name == 'myGeneratedClassField'}.type
def generated = generatedClass.newInstance()
generated.myMethod()
}
}
class MyCompilerConfiguration extends CompilationCustomizer {
MyCompilerConfiguration() {
super(CompilePhase.CONVERSION)
}
#Override
void call(SourceUnit source, GeneratorContext context, ClassNode currentClassNode) throws CompilationFailedException {
def newClassAst = new AstBuilder().buildFromSpec {
classNode('MyGeneratedClass', ClassNode.ACC_PUBLIC) {
classNode java.lang.Object
interfaces { classNode GroovyObject }
mixins { }
}
}
ClassNode myGeneratedClassNode = newClassAst[0]
source.getAST().addClass(myGeneratedClassNode)
currentClassNode.addField('myGeneratedClassField', Opcodes.ACC_PUBLIC, myGeneratedClassNode, new EmptyExpression())
MethodNode myMethodNode = source.getAST().methods.find {it.name == 'myMethod'}
myGeneratedClassNode.addMethod(myMethodNode.name, Opcodes.ACC_PUBLIC, myMethodNode.returnType, myMethodNode.parameters, myMethodNode.exceptions, myMethodNode.code)
}
}
Your stacktrace is correct, the Script1.groovy:4 you see is not the name of a class, but the name of the file which has generated this class, which is, in your case, a Groovy File.
This name come from the CodeSource instance present in the CompilationUnit associated with the ClassNode. You can change it by using a GroovyCodeSource in methods like GroovyShell.parse or GroovyClassLoader.parseClass, but I think it's a really bad idea ! (security, debugging and other thinks are related to this object)

NullPointerException when calling a method on another Groovy class

I have the following two Groovy classes:
Buzz.groovy:
import widgets.Fizz
class Buzz {
def WhistleFeather
def init = { servletContext ->
WhistleFeather.load()
println "WhistleFeather loaded."
}
def destroy = { }
}
WhistleFeather.groovy:
package net.me.myapp
import widgets.Fizz
public class WhistleFeather {
def navMenu
def load() {
println "Loading!"
}
}
When execution gets to the WhistleFeather.load() method call I'm getting a NullPointerException. Can anyone see why?
WhistleFeather#load is an instance method, not a static method. Either call it with new WhistleFeather().load(), or turn it into a static method (static load() { ... }).

Cannot dynamically change or add methods in a class using GroovyClassLoader

I try to dynamically change and add methods of a class defined in a groovy script from another groovy script but cannot figure out why it works if I use the classname directly in .metaClass. but not if I load the class using the GroovyClassLoader(which I need to do!).
In one file 'MyTest.groovy' I have
class MyTest {
public void setUp() {
println "SET UP"
}
public void tearDown() {
println "TEAR DOWN"
}
public void testA() {
println "testA"
}
}
and another file 'suite.groovy' contains
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
public class MyTestSuite {
// For debug
public static printClassLoader(Class cls) {
ClassLoader loader = cls.classLoader
while (loader) {
println loader.class
println loader.URLs.join("\n")
println "\n\n"
loader = loader.parent
}
}
public static void suite() {
// First method to define my class (change/addition of methods works)
//Class testClass = MyTest
// Second way to define my class (change/addition of methods doesn't work)
ClassLoader parent = MyTestSuite.class.getClassLoader();
GroovyClassLoader gcl = new GroovyClassLoader(parent);
Class testClass = gcl.parseClass(new File("MyTest.groovy"));
printClassLoader(testClass)
testClass.metaClass.setUp = {-> println "I'm your new setUp()" ;}
testClass.metaClass.newTest = {-> println "I'm your new newTest()" ; }
}
}
MyTestSuite.suite()
MyTest aTest = new MyTest()
aTest.setUp()
aTest.newTest()
With the first method I get the expected result:
I'm your new setUp()
I'm your new newTest()
But with the second one I get
SET UP
Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: MyTest.newTest() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
Possible solutions: testA(), getAt(java.lang.String), wait(), inspect(), every()
at suite.run(suite.groovy:34)
Interestingly modifying an existing method doesn't work but there is no exception but trying to add a new one throws one.
I reckon it has to do something with the class loaders used but couldn't figure what exactly and what to change!
For the first version here are the class loaders called:
class groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader$InnerLoader
class groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader
class org.codehaus.groovy.tools.RootLoader
class sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader
class sun.misc.Launcher$ExtClassLoader
For the second version:
class groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader$InnerLoader
class groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader
class groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader$InnerLoader
class groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader
class org.codehaus.groovy.tools.RootLoader
class sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader
class sun.misc.Launcher$ExtClassLoader
Any idea welcome!
Franck
The new GroovyClassLoader is not the Groovy classloader of the current thread.
It will be disposed after the suite() method finishes - along with its own Class and MetaClass associations.
However, this works:
Class testClass = gcl.parseClass(new File("MyTest.groovy"));
testClass = Class.forName(testClass.getName())
