Context
Groovy Scripts are used as extension scripts that can be executed when a particular event is triggered.
Some of the events can be
- Displaying Display controls
- Observation Save
What should be configured for groovy scripts?
For any groovy script the following are configurable
- What is the script to execute on trigger of an event
- What should be implemented in the script
Types of Groovy Scripts
Different types of groovy scripts that can be configured are
- Standard Extensions
- Custom Extensions
Standard Extensions
- The standard extension file names cannot be changed. The reason for referring them standard is that they need not be explicitly configured. Names are standard. Only implementation of the script can be customised.
- If the file is present, by default it will be executed when the respective event is triggered.
- Some of those extensions are
- BahmniObsValueCalcuator
- TreatmentRegimenExtension
| File Name | Location and Example File | Note |
|---|---|---|
BahmniObsValueCalculator.groovy |
|
|
TreatmentRegimenExtension.groovy |

Custom Extensions
- Groovy extensions that can have custom files along with custom implementation.
- Display controls such as Obs To Obs Flowsheet have flexibility to have custom extensions.
- These scripts are triggered when displaying the display control under which the extension is configured.

If One Configures, DstExtension.groovy under ObsToObsFlowSheet Control (Refer Sample Config), then the groovy is executed while the control (ObsToObsFlowSheet Control) is displayed. |

Developer Tips
One way to debug groovy scripts during development is to write statements to a temporary file, e.g., in BahmniObsValueCalculator.groovy, use the snippet below. groovy_debug.txt should be writable. Make sure to remove debugging statements and temporary file before deployment.
def file1 = new File(OpenmrsUtil.getApplicationDataDirectory() + "obscalculator/groovy_debug.txt")
file1.append 'debugging statement\n'
