I am trying to use this method without a closure

def copyAndReplaceText(source, dest, targetText, replaceText){
    dest.write(source.text.replaceAll(targetText, replaceText))
def source = new File('C:/geretd/resumebak.txt') //Hello World
def dest = new File('C:/geretd/resume.txt') //blank
copyAndReplaceText(source, dest){
    it.replaceAll('Visa', 'Passport!!!!')
but when I run it I get the following error:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: ConsoleScript3.copyAndReplaceText() is applicable for argument types: (java.io.File, java.io.File, ConsoleScript3$_run_closure1) values: [C:\geretd\resumebak.txt, C:\geretd\resume.txt, ...]
Possible solutions: copyAndReplaceText(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)

What am I doing wrong?
                From a noob in groovy: I had the same exception, but for different reason. I defined a method later than I wanted to use in the beginning of the code. When I replaced it, it worked.

                Another caveat: If you are calling a static method of an outer class from an inner class without fully qualifying the outer method: static class Abc { 		private void test() { 			foo(); 		} 	}  	private static void foo() {  	}

Because you are passing three arguments to a four arguments method. Also, you are not using the passed closure.
If you want to specify the operations to be made on top of the source contents, then use a closure. It would be something like this:
def copyAndReplaceText(source, dest, closure){
    dest.write(closure( source.text ))
// And you can keep your usage as:
copyAndReplaceText(source, dest){
    it.replaceAll('Visa', 'Passport!!!!')
If you will always swap strings, pass both, as your method signature already states:
def copyAndReplaceText(source, dest, targetText, replaceText){
    dest.write(source.text.replaceAll(targetText, replaceText))
copyAndReplaceText(source, dest, 'Visa', 'Passport!!!!')
                Thanks so much, this my first time with groovy, and I need help, quick question if I use the code below I will be passing 4 parameter right?   def copyAndReplaceText(source, dest, targetText, replaceText){     dest.write(source.text.replaceAll(targetText, replaceText)) }  def source = new File('C:/geretd/resumebak.txt') //Hello World def dest = new File('C:/geretd/resume.txt') //blank   copyAndReplaceText(source, dest, 'Visa', 'Passport!!!!')

                Yes. copyAndReplaceText() is the method name, and you are passing four arguments: 1st source, 2nd dest, 3rd 'Visa' and 4th 'Passport!!!!'

                well honestly I never heard of groovy before until Friday, I have had to research on my own, now I am stuck at this requirement.   search and replace to temporary file named xxxx~, old text with new text  don't know how to do it

                But yeah I figured out groovy is very nice, it is not as rigid as java, even though it has it's base on it.

                @geretd Tim's approach to your earlier question in addition to the one you are using now will be useful once you are comfortable with the semantics and syntax of Groovy.

                Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. My method names were not the same case. Oops!

In my case it was simply that I had a variable named the same as a function.
Example:
def cleanCache = functionReturningABoolean()
if( cleanCache ){
    echo "Clean cache option is true, do not uninstall previous features / urls"
    uninstallCmd = ""
    // and we call the cleanCache method
    cleanCache(userId, serverName)
and later in my code I have the function:
def cleanCache(user, server){
 //some operations to the server
Apparently the Groovy language does not support this (but other languages like Java does).
I just renamed my function to executeCleanCache and it works perfectly (or you can also rename your variable whatever option you prefer).
                You can get this error any time your argument list is not correct for the method signature...

This may also be because you might have given classname with all letters in lowercase something which groovy (know of version 2.5.0) does not support.
class name - User is accepted but user is not.
In my case problem is I commented firebase dependency in build.gradle file but still using this in debug build type:
firebaseCrashlytics {
   mappingFileUploadEnabled true
Just make it commented to make it work.
Remove/Delete node-module from root folder
npm uninstall cordova-android
npm install cordova-android@10.1.1
Now remove android platform using: ionic cordova rm platform android
Now add platform : ionic cordova platform add android
Build Android Project : ionic cordova build android
Problem will be resolved
