Write a script with Groovy

Introduction

Groovy is a high level scripting language based on Java. Its syntax is similar but very simpler thus allowing to write scripts very quickly.

See https://groovy.codehaus.org/

Using groovy with Capsis

From the Capsis main graphical user interface

Open the groovy console

Menu tools→Groovy Console

Upper part is used to write groovy code
Lower part shows script output

Exemple

import capsis.script.C4Script
import capsis.kernel.Step;
import capsis.kernel.Engine;
import maddmodule.script.*
 
// Simple use of the maddmodule
s = new C4Script("maddmodule")
s.init(new MaddInitialParameters (s.getModel(), s.getDataDir() + "/maddmodel/A.inv"))
result = s.evolve(new MaddEvolutionParameters (200))
 
// Display scenario in Capsis
s.updateGUI();

Launch Capsis directly with the Groovy pilot

Groovy scripts can be executed directly from the command line without starting the capsis GUI. The scripts are compiled on the fly.

Convention : groovy script should be placed in the myscripts directory

Windows

capsis -p groovy bin\maddmodule\myscripts\maddscript.groovy

Linux

sh capsis.sh -p groovy bin/maddmodule/myscripts/maddscript.groovy
