Actually Shil's suggestion is a good way to go. You can cut and paste the
following into the groovyConsole and it will run in the latest versions of
Groovy:
import groovy.transform.ASTTest
@ASTTest(phase=SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS, value={
def myMethod = node.methods.find { it.name == 'myMethod' }
def from = myMethod.lineNumber
def to = myMethod.lastLineNumber
def lines = node.module.context.source.reader.readLines()[from-1..<to]
println 'Source for myMethod:\n' + lines.join('\n')
println 'Comment lines:'
lines.findAll{ it.matches($/\s*//.*/$) }.each{ println it }
})
class MyClass {
def myMethod() {
// my comment
println 'Hello'
}
}
println 'done'
Output is:
Source for myMethod:
def myMethod() {
// my comment
println 'Hello'
}
Comment lines:
// my comment
done
Cheers, Paul.
