Russel Winder commented on GANT-84:
-----------------------------------
I suspect the example may not exibit the behaviour being complained about. Executing the code as a Gant script:
{quote}
|> gant
Error evaluating Gantfile: No signature of method: java.lang.String.positive() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
|>
{quote}
Executing it as a Groovy script:
{quote}
|> groovy build.gant
Caught: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.metaclass.MissingMethodExceptionNoStack: No signature of method: java.lang.String.positive() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
|>
{quote}
So no line numbers there either. I think Gant's behaviour here is predicated by Groovy's behaviour, so I am tempted to mark this as "Not A Bug". However, it maybe that there is a better example that highlights the problem?
Interestingly, the script can be compiled:
{quote}
|> groovyc build.gant
|>
{quote}
I wonder if there is a Groovy bug here?

> I often get messages like this which requires some effort to figure out what caused the problem. If I monitor for the exception and get a stack trace, it still only narrows the search a bit.
> groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.lang.String.positive() is applicable for argument types: () values: {}
> Regular groovy seems to do better with given a location.
