Method names for getters/setters in pipeline shared libraries

[red 888]

Im not sure if this is a groovy thing or a jenkins shared library DSL thing but I don't understand how this automatic getter setter stuff works.

I have this shared lib:

/vars/myFunc.groovy

I have this in it:

def getDerp() { return something }
def getHerp() { return something }

Now in my jenkinsfile I can reference it like this:

echo myFunc.derp
echo myFunc.herp

But I tried naming my methods like this:

def getMyDerp() { return something }
def getMyHerp() { return something }

Now in my jenkinsfile I tried to do this:

echo myFunc.myderp
echo myFunc.myherp

But that didn't work.

I'm just curious how this works and if its possible to do method names like getExtraHumps.

You likely need to reference "myFunc.myDerp" instead.

Yup "myFunc.myDerp" works! So is this a groovy thing or is this part of the jenkins DSL? I tried googling, but not sure what this language feature is called.

I'd say you're trying to use JavaBean on something that's not.

Also, see my previous answer earlier, it somehow smells a bit too programmatic. Ideally try not do only *very* basic programming in Pipeline, do like most if not all magical/nice Groovy features don't exist.
