Yes, a little explanation:

The code inside a Groovy step is a GroovyScript.

GroovyScripts need no class and main method declaration. This convenience comes at the expense that you don't see that you're actually in the 'run' method of a Script class.

-> no way to define fields or GroovyBean properties here.

All undeclared variables are stored in the binding. Declared variables are local to the 'run' method.

Hi Denis,

I think that your

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

is faulty: it uses the variable eventTo that is not defined here. When your script contains:

eventTo = makeDate(step.project.properties.eventTo)

then the eventTo variable is put in the binding and can be retrieved in the isDateInRange method. When you use the def keyword

def eventTo = makeDate(step.project.properties.eventTo)

the variable is local (to the run() method of the script) and can't be seen in makeDate.

I think therefore that the scriptStep / groovy steps behave correctly. Why doesn't your makeDate simply take 2 parameters?
