In errors while programming, you'll run into "Script15"

When you run this code:

Code:

try {
File f = new File("ClassName.TEST");
f.createNewFile();
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(f));
writer.write(getClass().getSimpleName());
writer.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
;
}

The result is "Script15"

In essence, what is "Script15", and what is its purpose?

Script15 is the class name of the 15th script that was loaded.  I was going to say that I think I keep a mapping of the classes to that actual names for error reporting but I just remember that's only in the new engine.

Because I use jsr223 support in Java to load groovy scripts, groovy doesn't know what the original script file was called and so just generates a name for the compiled class (groovy is Java after all and so must end up as a .class even if only in memory).  In the new engine, I go through some level of pain to keep track of the loaded script name and associate with the compiled script.

Anyway, it makes it harder to debug for sure.

Ok, thank you.
