Groovy gives error expecting EOF, found '?' @ line 9, column 25
You have some extra unicode characters in line 4. If you convert it to hex you will get:
64 65 66 20 72 61 6e 20 3d 20 4d 61 74 68 2e 61 62 73 28 e2 80 8b 72 61 6e 49 6e 74 29 e2 80 8b 25 32 30 e2 80 8b 30 3b
Now if you convert this hex back to ascii, you will get:
def ran = Math.abs(​ranInt)​%20​0;
There is a character ​
added after first (
, after )
and after first 0
. If you remove it, your code will compile correctly.
Here is the hex of curated line:
64 65 66 20 72 61 6e 20 3d 20 4d 61 74 68 2e 61 62 73 28 72 61 6e 49 6e 74 29 25 32 30 30 3b
And the line itself:
def ran = Math.abs(ranInt)%200;

I'm using following code to generate random number in Groovy. I can run it in e.g. Groovy Web Console (https://groovyconsole.appspot.com/) and it works, however it fails when I try to run it in Mule. Here is the code I use:
log.info ">>run" Random random = new Random() def ranInt = random.nextInt() def ran = Math.abs(ranInt)%200; log.info ">>sleep counter:"+flowVars.counter+" ran: "+ran sleep(ran)
And here is an exception that gets thrown:
Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script26.groovy: 9: expecting EOF, found '?' @ line 9, column 25. def ran = Math.abs(?400)?%20?0; ^

Buddhi about 6 yearsyou are a genius :)

Szymon Stepniak about 6 years@Buddhi Nah, I just experienced similar problems a few times before :)
-
Buddhi about 6 yearsnow i get new issue, when the ranInt is negative number for ex: -139709715, the Math.abs fails
-
Buddhi about 6 yearsalso I tried to use a code like int absVal = (ranInt>0) ? ranInt : (-1*ranInt) log.info ">>absVal: " + absVal it also fails when ranInt is negative
