Why is Groovy's date extensions not available in Micronaut?

When attempting to use the Groovy date extension, clearTime(), the error returned is Cannot find matching method java.util.Date#clearTime(). Please check if the declared type is correct and if the method exists.

When I use:

def date = new Date()
date.clearTime()

I get the previous error.

This happens if I use compileStatic or at runtime if I do not.

  • Why is Groovy's date extensions not available in Micronaut?

    Groovy's date extension is available in Micronaut. The date extensions may be used in any JVM app (including Micronaut). I expect you are missing a dependency on the groovy-dateutil library, which is the library which provides that method.

    You should add a dependency on 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-dateutil:3.0.5' to your project.
