Arity mismatch. Declared parameters: [class java.lang.Object]. Matched arguments: []

[el-pablo]

I am getting the following stack trace, for a step like the following:

@357
Scenario: Carbon Coder executes unsuccessfully
  Given Carbon Coder is running correctly

And the step definition :

Given(~"Carbon Coder is running correctly\$") {
    transcodeHelper.prepareService()
}

It works if I add a regex to the step definition. e.g.

Given(~"Carbon Coder (*.) running correctly\$") { String ignore ->
    transcodeHelper.prepareService()
}

[aslakhellesoy]

You have to explicitly declare an empty list of closure parameters. So instead of this:

Given(~"Carbon Coder is running correctly\$") {
    transcodeHelper.prepareService()
}

Do this:

Given(~"Carbon Coder is running correctly\$") { ->
    transcodeHelper.prepareService()
}

Unfortunately it seems impossible to detect when a list of parameters is not supplied, so I can't give a better error message. You just have to know about this I guess.
