Groovy : Constructor call must be the first statement in a constructor



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



Receiving this error:



org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:



file:/var/jenkins_home/jobs/{repo}/branches/master/builds/9/libs/{jenkins-library-name}/src/{srcPath}/Pom_EX.groovy: 12:



Constructor call must be the first statement in a constructor.
at line: 12 column: 11.

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.



Reproduce the problem



Running DUMMY d = new DUMMY('blah') produced :


DUMMY d = new DUMMY('blah')



1 compilation error:



Constructor call must be the first statement in a constructor. at line: 5 column: 11. File: file:/{path}/DUMMY.groovy at line: 5, column: 11
