Validate your scripts

The editor surfaces Groovy errors as you type. Two places report them: the code editor's error marks and the Problems panel.

Use the Problems panel​

The Problems panel lists every file with a parse error and the line each error is on.

  • Open the panel from the Tools menu.
  • Each file appears as a tree node with the error count. Click an error to jump to that line in the code editor.
  • Clear All in the panel menu bar dismisses the current list, so you can re-check after editing.

A clean list shows No problems detected.

Catch errors on reload​

Syntax errors that survive to a reload are reported when the bundle executes. The console panel shows the exception with the script and line number. Fix the reported line, save, and reload again.

Keep it green​

  • Close every string literal and block { } before saving.
  • Check that every import points at a real class. A wrong import is a compile error, not a runtime one.
  • If a line reports a problem but looks fine, the error is usually the missing line or brace just above it.
