Groovy script error

[Pradeep A]

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import static groovyx.net.http.Method.GET
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.TEXT

// initialize a new builder and give a default URL
def http = new HTTPBuilder("https://www.google.com/")

return http.request(GET,TEXT) { req ->

response.success = { resp, htmlText ->
assert resp.status == 200
log.debug("My response handler got response: ${resp.statusLine}")
if(htmlText){
return htmlText.getText()
}
else{
return null
}
}

// called only for a 404 (not found) status code:
response."404" = { resp ->
log.error ("Not found")
return null
}
}

IM getting variable[response]is not declared

There is nothing wrong with the script. Did you try to run it?

Sometimes, the script editor will report static type checking errors because it's unable to confirm the script is okay or not. Because groovy doesn't require objects and variables to be strongly typed, these sorts of errors can sometimes appear. They are not always something that needs to be resolved.

In this case, the httpbuilder will have defined that variable. But your code editor can't guess that ahead of time.
