How Can I Make A Deep Copy of a Groovy ConfigObject? I see that I can make a shallow copy of the object with .clone(), but I want to make a full deep copy.
The problem with #HappyCoder86 answer is it assumes all config key / values are strings. If some of your config values are objects / closures (common in grails) below solution wont work.
Below solution may be slow but would work if you have values of type other then string
static def deepcopy(ConfigObject orig) {
ConfigObject copy = new ConfigObject()
orig.keySet().each { key ->
def value = orig.get(key)
if (value instanceof ConfigObject) {
value = deepcopy(value)
}
copy.put(key, value)
}
return copy
}
ConfigObject config = new ConfigSlurper().parse originalConf.toProperties()
ConfigObject clonedConfigObject = new ConfigSlurper().parse("${originalConfigObject.prettyPrint()}")
Won't work with entries having Class or Closure values types.
But will work with Lists and Maps.

I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve the name of a variable.
For example if I have a method:
def printSomething(def something){
//instead of having the literal String something, I want to be able to use the name of the variable that was passed
println('something is: ' + something)
}
If I call this method as follows:
def ordinary = 58
printSomething(ordinary)
I want to get:
ordinary is 58
On the other hand if I call this method like this:
def extraOrdinary = 67
printSomething(extraOrdinary)
I want to get:
extraOrdinary is 67
Edit
I need the variable name because I have this snippet of code which runs before each TestSuite in Katalon Studio, basically it gives you the flexibility of passing GlobalVariables using a katalon.features file. The idea is from: kazurayam/KatalonPropertiesDemo
#BeforeTestSuite
def sampleBeforeTestSuite(TestSuiteContext testSuiteContext) {
KatalonProperties props = new KatalonProperties()
// get appropriate value for GlobalVariable.hostname loaded from katalon.properties files
WebUI.comment(">>> GlobalVariable.G_Url default value: \'${GlobalVariable.G_Url}\'");
//gets the internal value of GlobalVariable.G_Url, if it's empty then use the one from katalon.features file
String preferedHostname = props.getProperty('GlobalVariable.G_Url')
if (preferedHostname != null) {
GlobalVariable.G_Url = preferedHostname;
WebUI.comment(">>> GlobalVariable.G_Url new value: \'${preferedHostname}\'");
} else {
WebUI.comment(">>> GlobalVariable.G_Url stays unchanged");
}
//doing the same for other variables is a lot of duplicate code
}
Now this only handles 1 variable value, if I do this for say 20 variables, that is a lot of duplicate code, so I wanted to create a helper function:
def setProperty(KatalonProperties props, GlobalVariable var){
WebUI.comment(">>> " + var.getName()" + default value: \'${var}\'");
//gets the internal value of var, if it's null then use the one from katalon.features file
GlobalVariable preferedVar = props.getProperty(var.getName())
if (preferedVar != null) {
var = preferedVar;
WebUI.comment(">>> " + var.getName() + " new value: \'${preferedVar}\'");
} else {
WebUI.comment(">>> " + var.getName() + " stays unchanged");
}
}
Here I just put var.getName() to explain what I am looking for, that is just a method I assume.
Yes, this is possible with ASTTransformations or with Macros (Groovy 2.5+).
I currently don't have a proper dev environment, but here are some pointers:
Not that both options are not trivial, are not what I would recommend a Groovy novice and you'll have to do some research. If I remember correctly either option requires a separate build/project from your calling code to work reliable. Also either of them might give you obscure and hard to debug compile time errors, for example when your code expects a variable as parameter but a literal or a method call is passed. So: there be dragons. That being said: I have worked a lot with these things and they can be really fun ;)
Groovy Documentation for Macros
If you are on Groovy 2.5+ you can use Macros. For your use-case take a look at the #Macro methods section. Your Method will have two parameters: MacroContext macroContext, MethodCallExpression callExpression the latter being the interesting one. The MethodCallExpression has the getArguments()-Methods, which allows you to access the Abstract Syntax Tree Nodes that where passed to the method as parameter. In your case that should be a VariableExpression which has the getName() method to give you the name that you're looking for.
Developing AST transformations
This is the more complicated version. You'll still get to the same VariableExpression as with the Macro-Method, but it'll be tedious to get there as you'll have to identify the correct MethodCallExpression yourself. You start from a ClassNode and work your way to the VariableExpression yourself. I would recommend to use a local transformation and create an Annotation. But identifying the correct MethodCallExpression is not trivial.
no. it's not possible.
however think about using map as a parameter and passing name and value of the property:
def printSomething(Map m){
println m
}
printSomething(ordinary:58)
printSomething(extraOrdinary:67)
printSomething(ordinary:11,extraOrdinary:22)
this will output
[ordinary:58]
[extraOrdinary:67]
[ordinary:11, extraOrdinary:22]
I have a map1 which holds the information as
[40256942,6] [60246792,5]
Now that I want to prepare a map2 that holds information such as
itemNo, 40256942
qty, 6
itemNo, 60246792
qty, 5
to prepare final information as json
“partialArticlesInfo”: [{itemNo:”40256942”, availQty:”6”}, {itemNo:”60246792”, availQty:”5”}]
I am trying to iterate map1 to retrieve values and set that against the key. But I am getting only one entry which is last one. Is there any way , I get the new map with entries such as mentioned above
Map<String, String> partialArticlesInfo = new HashMap<String,String>();
Map<String, String> partialArticlesTempMap = null;
for (Map.Entry<String,String> entry : partialStockArticlesQtyMap.entrySet())
{
partialArticlesTempMap = new HashMap<String,String>();
partialArticlesTempMap.put("itemNo",entry.getKey());
partialArticlesTempMap.put("availQty",entry.getValue());
partialArticlesInfo.putAll(partialArticlesTempMap);
}
In Java (I'm assuming you're using Java, in the future it would be helpful to specify that) and every other language I know of, a map holds mappings between keys and values. Only one mapping is allowed per key. In your "map2", the keys are "itemNo" and "availQty". So what is happening is that your for loop sets the values for the first entry, and then is overwriting them with the data from the second entry, which is why that is the only one you see. Look at Java - Map and Map - Java 8 for more info.
I don't understand why you are trying to put the data into a map, you could just put it straight into JSON with something like this:
JSONArray partialArticlesInfo = new JSONArray();
for (Map.Entry<String,String> entry : partialStockArticlesQtyMap.entrySet()) {
JSONObject stockEntry = new JSONObject();
stockEntry.put("itemNo", entry.getKey());
stockEntry.put("availQty", entry.getValue());
partialArticlesInfo.put(stockEntry);
}
JSONObject root = new JSONObject();
root.put("partialArticlesInfo",partialArticlesInfo);
This will take "map1" (partialStockArticlesQtyMap in your code) and create a JSON object exactly like your example - no need to have map2 as an intermediate step. It loops over each entry in map1, creates a JSON object representing it and adds it to a JSON array, which is finally added to a root JSON object as "partialArticlesInfo".
The exact code may be slightly different depending on which JSON library you are using - check the docs for the specifics.
I agree with Brendan. Another solution would be otherwise to store in the Set or List objects like the following.
class Item {
Long itemNo;
int quantity;
public int hashCode() {
Long.hashCode(itemNo) + Integer.hashCode(quantity);
}
public int equals(Object other) {
other instanceOf Item && other.itemNo == this.itemNo && other.quantity = this.quantity;
}
}
}
then you can use the JsonArray method described by him to get the Json string in output
This means that adding new variables to the object won't require any more effort to generate the Json
I was wondering if CsvHelper by Josh Close has anything in the configuration I am missing to translate values to null. I am a huge fan of this library, but I always thought there should be some sort of configuration to let it know what values represent NULL in your file. An example would be a column with the value "NA", "EMPTY", "NULL", etc. I am sure I could create my own TypeConverter, but I was hoping there would be an easier option to set somewhere in a config as this tends to be fairly common with files I encounter.
Is there a configuration setting to do this relatively easily?
I found the TypeConversion in the CsvHelper.TypeConversion namespace but am not sure where to apply something like this or an example of the correct usage:
new NullableConverter(typeof(string)).ConvertFromString(new TypeConverterOptions(), "NA")
I am also using the latest version 2.2.2
Thank you!
I think some time in the last seven years and thirteen versions since this question was asked the options for doing this without a custom type map class expanded, e.g.:
csvReader.Context.TypeConverterOptionsCache.GetOptions<string>().NullValues.Add("NULL");
csvReader.Context.TypeConverterOptionsCache.GetOptions<DateTime?>().NullValues.AddRange(new[] { "NULL", "0" });
csvReader.Context.TypeConverterOptionsCache.GetOptions<int?>().NullValues.Add("NULL");
csvReader.Context.TypeConverterOptionsCache.GetOptions<bool>().BooleanFalseValues.Add("0");
csvReader.Context.TypeConverterOptionsCache.GetOptions<bool>().BooleanTrueValues.Add("1");
CsvHelper can absolutely handle nullable types. You do not need to roll your own TypeConverter if a blank column is considered null. For my examples I am assuming you are using user-defined fluent mappings.
The first thing you need to do is construct a CsvHelper.TypeConverter object for your Nullable types. Note that I'm going to use int since strings allow null values by default.
public class MyClassMap : CsvClassMap<MyClass>
{
public override CreateMap()
{
CsvHelper.TypeConversion.NullableConverter intNullableConverter = new CsvHelper.TypeConversion.NullableConverter(typeof(int?));
Map(m => m.number).Index(2).TypeConverter(intNullableConverter);
}
}
Next is setting the attribute on your CsvReader object to allow blank columns & auto-trim your fields. Personally like to do this by creating a CsvConfiguration object with all of my settings prior to constructing my CsvReader object.
CsvConfiguration csvConfig = new CsvConfiguration();
csvConfig.RegisterClassMap<MyClassMap>();
csvConfig.WillThrowOnMissingField = false;
csvConfig.TrimFields = true;
Then you can call myReader = new CsvReader(stream, csvConfig) to build the CsvReader object.
IF you need to have defined values for null such as "NA" == null then you will need to roll your own CsvHelper.TypeConversion class. I recommend that you extend the NullableConverter class to do this and override both the constructor and ConvertFromString method. Using blank values as null is really your best bet though.
I used "ConvertUsing"...
public class RecordMap : CsvHelper.Configuration.ClassMap<Record>
{
public RecordMap()
{
AutoMap();
Map(m => m.TransactionDate).ConvertUsing( NullDateTimeParser );
Map(m => m.DepositDate).ConvertUsing( NullDateTimeParser );
}
public DateTime? NullDateTimeParser(IReaderRow row)
{
//"CurrentIndex" is a bit of a misnomer here - it's the index of the LAST GetField call so we need to +1
//https://github.com/JoshClose/CsvHelper/issues/1168
var rawValue = row.GetField(row.Context.CurrentIndex+1);
if (rawValue == "NULL")
return null;
else
return DateTime.Parse(rawValue);
}
}
Expanding on this blog post, I am trying to use a category to create a simple DSL for use with the javax.measure (JSR-275) classes (similar to TimeCategory for time intervals)
However, I do not want to add boilerplate code for each of the possible available methods (getMeter, getMilliMeter, getKelvin, getSecond etc.). I thought overriding the getProperty(String) method would work, but alas, it looks like the getProperty method defined in the category is not used when accessing the property directly.
Here is some simplified code to demonstrate:
import javax.measure.quantity.Length;
import javax.measure.unit.Unit;
import javax.measure.Measure;
#Category(Number)
class LengthCategory {
public Measure<BigDecimal, Length> getProperty(String unit){
return Measure.valueOf(this,Unit.valueOf(unit));
}
}
use(LengthCategory){
println 3.getProperty("m") // this works
println 3.m // this reports a non-exisiting property
prinlln 3.'m' // as does this
}
Assuming other methods of dynamically adding properties to a runtime object (e.g. Expando, subclassing GroovyInterceptible, mixins and other metaclass manipulations) is not viable and I would really rather not have to manually code getters for every possible unit and SI prefix combination. There are obviously other ways to go about creating a DSL for measurements, but I would still like to understand why this method would not work.
Could someone explain why the getProperty method of the category does not override .propertyName usage? I am obviously missing something important about the resolution of property names using the metaclass during runtime.
I don't know why getProperty doesn't work on categories. But you can define a get method on them that does basically the same (i think). This works:
#Category(Number)
class LengthCategory {
def get(String unit) {
"$this $unit"
}
}
use (LengthCategory) {
println 3.m // 3 m
println 3.'m' // 3 m
}
As far as I can tell, you can't actually extend Integers with full (i.e., readable and writable) properties using Category -- only with methods.
You can extend an Integer using read-only properties by using the method version of the property. You can even make it writable by including a set method. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to store the value passed in other than in a static variable and that ends up affecting all Integers.
Example:
$ cat catprop
#!/usr/local/bin/groovy
#Category(Integer)
class CatInteger {
private static String str = "default"
public static String setN(Integer i, String _str) { str = _str }
public static String getN(Integer i) { return str }
}
use (CatInteger) {
3.n = "333a"
println "3.n is " + 3.n
3.n = "333b"
println "3.n is " + 3.n
4.n = "444"
println "4.n is " + 4.n
println "3.n is " + 3.n
}
$ catprop
3.n is 333a
3.n is 333b
4.n is 444
3.n is 444
$
Note that in the last line 3.n return "444" because the stored field is static. I suppose that one could use a private HashMap and store a value for every Integer accessed, but that's too ugly to contemplate.
Another possibility would be to use the MetaClass Interface's getProperty() and setProperty(). However, I haven't looked into that so I don't know if it would work or not (just a thought).
Nice answer, but not sure, if you's still want to use JSR-275 now that JSR-363 is final?;-)
I'd like to be able to update a previously persisted object for which I have an id without having to retrieve it first. The main thing that I'm trying to avoid is having to copy multiple values into the object's fields when that object has been retrieved from the database. I have these values in a map with keys corresponding to the field names so it's trivial to create the object via a constructor with the map as an argument. Unfortunately, an object created this way results in a new database record when saved even though the id field is set to that of an existing record.
I'm currently using a slight variation on one of the examples shown here for copying Groovy class properties but it's not a very elegant solution for multiple reasons.
Basically I'd like to be able to do something like this:
class Foo {
int a
String b
}
def data = [id: 99, a: 11, b: "bar"] //99 is the id of an existing record
def foo = new Foo(data)
foo.update() //or some other comparable persistence mechanism
Thanks
As long as your map keys have the same name as your object properties, you can use executeUpdate without specifying the individual property names with a closure or function like the following:
def updateString = { obj, map ->
def str = ""
map.each { key, value ->
str += "${obj}.${key}=:${key},"
}
return str[0..-2]
}
def data= [foo:"bar", machoMan:"RandySavage"]
In this case, println updateString("f", data) returns "f.foo=:foo,f.machoMan=:machoMan".
Then you can do this:
Foo.executeUpdate("update Foo f set ${updateString("f", data)}", data)
Or of course you could combine that all together into one closure or function.
You can use the executeUpdate method on the GORM domain class:
Foo.executeUpdate("update Foo f set f.a=:a, f.b=:b where f.id=:id", data)
