Gosu case sensitivity

Guidewire code is case sensitive. Access existing types exactly as they are declared, including correct capitalization. For example, if a type is declared as MyClass, you cannot refer to it as myClass or myclass. Use the Gosu editor’s code completion feature to enter the names of types and properties correctly.

To assist you, Studio highlights issues with case sensitivity.
