Hey @michael.walter ,

Without knowing anything more about your script, I’ll suggest watching out for a few things that I’ve made the mistake of doing:

Make sure you’ve set the Script Language to Groovy
Make sure it’s not completely empty (even just a comment makes it OK)
Watch our for gremlins (non-printing characters)! I’ve often copy and pasted classes and the like in my code, only to find our that they were there, but invisible in my dev environment. You can copy and paste the script text into something that will show (and or strip) invisibles, or just go to the suspect line and watch your cursor take one extra cursor to move from one letter to another.
