Paul King commented on GROOVY-11714: ------------------------------------ It looks like you are expecting interpreter mode: {noformat} groovy:000> :set interpreterMode true groovy:000> def x = 4 ===> 4 groovy:000> x ===> 4 groovy:000> {noformat} Otherwise, variables come from the binding. Leaving off the def is how you save them to the binding. So, the "def f" in your second example, doesn't do anything. > groovysh failed to store variable for grammar like 'def e = 1' for groovy 5 > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-11714 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11714 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Jin Xu > Priority: Major > Attachments: screenshot-1.png, screenshot-2.png > > > !screenshot-1.png! > however, define first then give value can work. > !screenshot-2.png! > xenoamess@xenoamessum890pro:~/groovy-5.0.0-beta-1/bin$ ./groovy -v > Groovy Version: 5.0.0-beta-1 JVM: 24 Vendor: GraalVM Community OS: Linux -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
