A bit new to groovy, I am trying to match a variable string to a property pulled from a file using ConfigSlurper. I have the slurper part working fine, but can't seem to figure out the right way to evaluate a property with a variable in it. I think I was getting warm when I found evaluating-code-dynamically-in-groovy but I am not entirely sure.
//properties.groovy
jobs {
foo {
email="foo@email.com"
}
}
//myscript.groovy
def config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(new File('properties.groovy').toURI().toURL())
List jobs = (ArrayList) BazAPI.getArtifacts(bucket) // list of objects, foo is one
ListIterator jobIterator = jobs.listIterator();
while (jobIterator.hasNext()) {
Object j = jobIterator.next();
job_name = "${j.name}" //
email = config.jobs."${job_name}".email /* NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO EVAL */
foo_email = config.jobs.foo.email //evaluates to the correct property in properties.groovy
//these values get fed to a DSL but to illustrate
println "${job_name}" // prints foo
println "${email}" // prints [:]
println "${foo_email}" // prints foo@email.com
}
