Question

I have the following Groovy code but it wont work:

xml = new groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder() 
xmldata = xml.Plugins(nextid: '10') {
   Target(name: 'default.auth') {
     Port(protocol: 'https') {
       8080
     }
   }
}
println xmldata

I want it to result in:

<Plugins nextid='10'>
  <Target name='default.auth'>
    <Port protocol='https'>8080</Port>
  </Target>
</Plugins>

What I am actually getting is this:

<Plugins nextid='10'>
  <Target name='default.auth'>
    <Port protocol='https' />
  </Target>
</Plugins>

Can anyone provide some insight on this?

Answer 1

You need to use mkp.yield to make it output the 8080 value to the xml, like so:

xml = new groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder() 
xmldata = xml.Plugins(nextid: '10') {
   Target(name: 'default.auth') {
     Port(protocol: 'https') {
       mkp.yield 8080
     }
   }
}
