Closures within setup or features

[groovybayo]

Excuse my ignorance, but is there any reason closures can't be used
within setup blocks or within a feature in general.

Given a simple specification like so,

class HelloWorldSpec extends Specification {

def "can a closure be used"(){
setup:
3.times { println ${it} }
}
}

I get:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method:
spocktests.HelloWorldSpec.$() is applicable for argument types:
(spocktests.HelloWorldSpec$_spock_feature_0_0_closure1_closure2)
values: [spocktests.HelloWorldSpec
$_spock_feature_0_0_closure1_closure2@5bd6fbb3]
Possible solutions: is(java.lang.Object), any(),
old(java.lang.Object), any(groovy.lang.Closure),
use([Ljava.lang.Object;), wait()

are you not missing the quotes?

3.times{println "${it}"}

or alternatively you can drop the $ and go with 3.times{println it}
