New to Groovy. Using scripts as part of Jenkins pipeline. Editing in Sublime with only a linter.
Receiving this error:

Really beat myself up here for taking so long to see it. I didn't see it, since I've been working in Java for a few years now - and the IDE points out this type of mistake. Name of the constructor didn't match the class....
I reproduced the problem with a dummy class.
Running DUMMY d = new DUMMY('blah')
produced :
DUMMY d = new DUMMY('blah')
