Upgrading your scripts for Groovy 3 compatibility

Groovy 3 introduces a list of breaking changes that can affect Collibra Groovy workflow scripts. You can consult the full list in the Groovy 3 release notes. There are two breaking changes that can most likely affect Collibra workflows:

• If a Groovy switch statement has a default branch, it must be the last branch.

• Groovy is now more compliant with the JavaBeans specification for one edge case scenario involving any field having a name starting with an uppercase letter (GROOVY-9618).

• Enums cannot have a non-private constructor.

• To use an interface “Function” as a parameter it must be typed, for example: _methodHandler(Function<Integer, Integer> requiredFunction).

You can upgrade the workflows groovy script code to be compatible with these changes before we upgrade Collibra to the version containing Groovy 3.
