take care when using it in groovy each loop

One mistake I am making over and over is the following situation:

 def someCollection = [...]
 someCollection.each{
   println it // it works here
   doSomethingWithClauses{
     println it // it cannot be resolved here
   }
 }

As soon as you use the it in encapsulated code {}, it cannot be resolved anymore. It took me ages to find that mistake in the first place, but unfortunately I produce something like that quite often and then I wonder what the hell is wrong.

What you have to do to make it right is giving the iteration variable another name:

 def someCollection = [...]
 someCollection.each{ someItem ->
   println someItem // it works here
   doSomethingWithClauses{
     println someItem // hey cool it works here too
   }
 }
