What error are you seeing? Do you see the error at runtime or in your IDE?
Your code works for me (Groovy 2.4.9) so maybe check for unbalanced braces
elsewhere in your code.
However, you shouldn't catch/rethrow the InterruptedException as you do. The
InterruptedException is not thrown for "some reason", it is thrown when another
thread calls Thread.interrupt() on your thread (e.g. to wake your thread up so
it can check its state). For example:
Thread t = Thread.start {
boolean running = true
while (running) {
doSomeWork()
try {
Thread.sleep(1000)
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
running = shouldIKeepRunning()
return true
}
}
}
// At program shutdown/cleanup
t.interrupt()
t.join()
println "Our thread has termintated."
The Closure passed to the Thread.sleep method can be used in place of the
try/catch block. That is the closure will be called when Thread.interrupt() is
called on your thread i.e.:
Thread t = Thread.start {
boolean running = false
while(running) {
doSomeWork()
Thread.sleep(1000) {
// Called then Thread.sleep() is interrupted.
running = false
return true
}
}
}
// ...
t.interrupt()
t.join()
Finally, if you are doing complicated threading work you should really be using
GPars or Java's Executors, ThreadPools, et al.
