Listing 5.1 Initial attempt at generating sample data #18

Could you emphasize that the Bootstrap.groovy file in the GitHub repository must be downloaded for the tests in this chapter to work?

I had copied this listing to create my own Bootstrap.groovy file and practiced creating my own sample data.

My approach in working through the book is to copy code from the book's listings and use the command line to ensure I am understanding every step it takes for all files to appear in the project. I'm not just copying all project files from the repository and then reading the chapter. So reminders about which repository files are required or assumed to be downloaded would be helpful. Thanks!

Good point. Will add that.

What do you think of providing the complete GitHub URL to the class shown in every listing? You have numbered notes after every listing. If the last note after every listing was the URL, it would be awfully convenient to click, copy, and paste locally.

I'm having second thoughts about this approach. I'm going to start a new issue about downloading code for each chapter.

I added the emphasis. The URL for the download was already in a footnote. Hopefully it's readily accessible in the PDF form.
