In attempting to incorporate groovy script into our scripts. Groovy code doesn't seem to work.
Eclipse is our IDE , btw .
Is there a simple example of a Canoo webtest script that incorporates the <groovy> tags with simple groovy code that will produce some results that I can use to verify that I have everything working properly (somewhere out on the internet)? The example on the canoo site didn't work as is.

Here's an example where I used Groovy to compute a suitable date for a registration...

<group description="Register with date = birthdate + 5 year -1 day?">
  <scriptStep description="Compute date between birthdate and birthdate + 5year" language="groovy">
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
import java.util.Calendar
                     
// get a handle to the properties
def props = step.webtestProperties
                       
// store property in string
def bd = step.getWebtestProperty( 'de.bbp.datenaissance', step.PROPERTY_TYPE_ANT)
                                     
// convert string to Date
def sdf = new SimpleDateFormat('dd/MM/yyyy')
def dt = sdf.parse( bd)
                             
// do Date + 5 years - 1 day
def cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance()
cal.setTime( dt)
cal.add( Calendar.YEAR, 5)
cal.add( Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, -1)
                     
// convert new Date to string
def dd = sdf.format( cal.getTime())
                     
// store new Date as property ( use #{} to acess it from webtest)
props.putAt('date.tooYoung', dd)
  </scriptStep>
  <invoke description="Register with date = birthdate +5 -1d" url="#{currentFlowKey}" method="POST" content="_eventId=saveEtude&nomEtudeCode=${data.etudes.nom.etude.code}...;dateDebut=#{date.tooYoung}&dateFin=" save="mySaveEtude3" />
  <verifyXPath description="Message '${etudes.error.startDate.upper.birthday}' present?" xpath='//form[@id="etudeForm"]//li[@class="errors" and text()="${etudes.error.startDate.upper.birthday}"]' />
</group>
