Possible to create global object? #3963

Hello Robin

I wonder if there's a way to create global class object for one build.

I tried to use "pre-build" script in the advanced settings, and I declared a class with the following code

groovy: 
class Foo { 
  String name 
  Integer age 

  def setAge(Integer years) { 
    this.age = years 
  } 

  def increaseAge(Integer years) { 
    this.age += years 
  } 

  def printAge() { 
    println this.age 
  } 
}

So I was hoping that I could do def f = new Foo() in any step with groovy, but instead, I get this configuration error before the build can even run:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to evaluate below expression in configuration 'root/my/path/test':
    groovy:
    class Foo {
     String name
     Integer age
     def setAge(Integer years) {
     this.age = years
     }
     def increaseAge(Integer years) {
     this.age += years
     }
     def printAge() {
     println this.age
     }
    }

Is there something wrong with the way I use "pre-build script"? Or is there a way to create a global class object at all?

Thank you!

Defining a class in pre-build script and using it later is not possible, as QB runs each script with a separate class loader to avoid caching groovy objects to cause OOM.

Hi Robin

Thanks for your reply, but I have a new question following this:

I'm just trying to find a way to store parameters/values needed for the build, without having to create a QB variable for each one.

So I have a JSON file called config.json, and I try to access it whenever I need a specific parameter/value. This is working, except that I'm getting "file not found" error, in steps that are disabled.

I'm using repeat parameters to access the json file and return the value I need, so I can directly use it in the step itself. I understand that repeat parameters are established when the parent step is executed, but the step itself is disabled, why would the parent step still go establish the repeat parameters of a disabled child step?

Thanks

Can you please reproduce this issue with a sample database and send it to [robin AT pmease DOT com] for diagnostics?

Hi Robin

Thank you for your concern.

But I don't think I can recreate that scenario now. I solved my issue using a few necessary (or unnecessary?) "sequential steps" as container, and made sure the file exists before the child steps try to open it in the repeat parameter scripts.

I understand the rule, where the parent step needs to know how many child steps are there. But all I can tell you is when I was testing the configuration, I used to have the steps like this
Master
-- sequential
-- -- checkout
-- -- child steps that try to open a file from checkout

So when the sequential step executes, it will fail due to the child steps try to open a file that's not there yet.
But I disabled all the child steps but the checkout step, the sequential step still failed, the checkout step didn't get executed even. That's why I asked.

Hope it's still useful information to you.
Again thanks!

The disabled steps will still be expanded if they rely on repeat parameters. The disable flag only disables the execution.
