Error while reading input xml and constructing output xml using groovy

Question

I'm trying to extract values from input xml and construct output xml using groovy. I'm getting below error .I took a small example to verify the logic.

 def xml1 = """
 <company type="bentley">
     <account>
      <dept1>IT</dept1>
      <dept2>Admin</dept2>
      <dept3>Security</dept3>
    </account>
</company>""" ;

def xml2 = """
<company type="NG">
    <account>
      <dept1></dept1>
      <dept2></dept2>
      <dept3></dept3>
     </account>
</company>""";

def rootnode1= new XmlParser().parseText(xml1);
def rootnode2= new XmlParser().parseText(xml2);

rootnode1.account.each {
rootnode2.account.dept1[0].value = it.dept1[0].text();
rootnode2.account.dept2[0].value = it.dept2[0].text();
}

Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch

Thanks, Venkat

Does the error indicate which line the error is occurring? – Dan O'Boyle Oct 11 '17 at 15:27 — Dan O'Boyle, Oct 11 '17 at 15:27

It looks like you need to provide the each function a counter. Try something like the following:

rootnode1.account.each { n ->
rootnode2.account.dept1[0].value = n.dept1[0].text();
rootnode2.account.dept2[0].value = n.dept2[0].text();
}

Better still, if you have an unknown number of departments, you could move the .each() to the dept level.
