Description

Since OFBIZ-9996 it is possible to write integration tests in Groovy, meaning test that depend on the dispatcher and the delegator. It would be nice if the unit tests could be written in Groovy too.

The major benefit of writing tests in Groovy is that you create inputs and expected outputs more easily with objects literals. For example the following java code:

Map<String, Integer> input = new HashMap<>();
input.put("foo", 42);
input.put("bar", 37);

can be rewritten in Groovy like this:

def input = [foo: 42, bar: 37]
