Property Expansion Dynamic Expression issue with brace character.
Here is my Property Dynamic Expression:
${= use (groovy.time.TimeCategory) {2.years.from.now.format('yyyy-MM-dd')}}
Upon evaluation, this trows this error:
startup failed:
Script47.groovy: 1: expecting '}', found '' @ line 1, column 71.
.from.now.format('yyyy-MM-dd')
^
org.codehaus.groovy.syntax.SyntaxException: expecting '}', found '' @ line 1, column 71.
at org.codehaus.groovy.antlr.AntlrParserPlugin.transformCSTIntoAST(AntlrParserPlugin.java:143)
Well. I understand that I cannot use braces but then how can I achieve my goal ?
Isn't there a way to escape the braces ?
Thank you.

Hi zorglups,
The following script works fine for me:
use(groovy.time.TimeCategory){"${2.years.from.now.format('yyyy-MM-dd')}"}
But it seems there is no way to use it in property expansions directly because of its complexity. Instead, you can try to place the script inside some Groovy test step, and then extract its result by using this property expansion:
${Groovy Script#result}
How does it work for you?
