assert !destinationDirectory: "Destination directory is required to create an archive"

Does this mean that if the destinationDirectory is null the message next to it should be returned with the AssertionError??

    Yes. You can tell by simply running a test. Run this:

    assert false

    You get:

    Assertion failed: 

assert false


    at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper.assertFailed(InvokerHelper.java:386)
    at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.assertFailed(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:658)
    at ConsoleScript5.run(ConsoleScript5:1)
        ....

    However, this:

    assert false: "This is false!"

    Gives:

    java.lang.AssertionError: This is false!. Expression: false
    at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper.assertFailed(InvokerHelper.java:388)
    at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.assertFailed(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:658)
    at ConsoleScript6.run(ConsoleScript6:1)

    I couldn’t find documentation to verify it, but I probably just missed it. It also looks like this format works the same: assert test, "message".
