Question

I am trying to dynamically evaluate a result of another function during a class method call. However, having and issue with the scope of the Eval.

class A {
    private String a
    public A() {
        a = 5
    }

    public whatIsA() {
        return a
    }


    public func() {
        return "\\${whatIsA()}"
    }

    public test() {
        return Eval.me("\"\${func()}\"")
    }
}
def a = new A()
a.test()



Exception thrown: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: Script1.func() is applicable for argument types: () values: {}

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: Script1.func() is applicable for argument types: () values: {}
    at Script1.run(Script1.groovy:1)
    at A.test(Script7:17)
    at Script7.run(Script7:22)

How can I pass the scope of the A class instance into the Eval script?

Try this?

class A {
    private String a
    public A() {
        a = 5
    }

    public whatIsA() {
        return a
    }

    public func() {
        return "${whatIsA()} + 5"
    }

    public test() {
        return Eval.me(func())
    }
}
def a = new A()
a.test()
