Question

Given a regular Groovy script, is there a way to access its binding variables from classes defined inside the script itself?

The following snippet

class Example {
  def printBindings() {
    for (var in binding.variables) {
      println "$var.key - $var.value"
    }
  }
}
new Example().printBindings()

fails with the exception below:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: binding for class: Example

Answer 1

Not that I can find without passing the script through to the method:

class Example {
  def printBindings( container ) {
    for (var in container.binding.variables) {
      println "$var.key - $var.value"
    }
  }
}
new Example().printBindings( this )
