>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: GroovyScriptEngine
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.11
>         Environment: Probably not relevant, but problem at least confirmed on Mac OS X

> We wish to switch from BeanShell to Groovy as script language (JSR-223) in our desktop software jAlbum. jAlbum injects a set of global variables into the scriptlets via the Bindings object of the JSR-223 API. These variables are directly accessible in simple scripts, but contrary to scripting in BeanShell, these variables are not available to methods declared within scripted classes.
> Here's what works (assuming that "foo" is passed to the GroovyScriptEngine via the Bindings object):
> println(foo) // foo being made available to the magically created Script class' run method
> Here's what won't work (foo again being passed to the GroovyScriptEngine via the Bindings object):
> class Test {
>   void bar() {
>     println(foo); // Reference to missing variable
>   }
> }
> Test t = new Test()
> t.bar() // Fails due to missing variable
