unable to resolve class JsonSlurper with script from Filesystem

[Alex Schwantes]

Hi, 

I have a script like the following:

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def xxx = new JsonSlurper().parseText(inputFile.text)

...

When I use the option "Use the provided DSL script" and paste the script into the input box it works without issue. 

However when I use the option "Look on Filesystem" to read the file from disk (which was checked out from git), it throws the error:

unable to resolve class JsonSlurper 

Can anyone suggest why this might be the case and how to resolve it (if its not a bug)?

thanks

Turns out it was due to a file encoding issue, where groovy couldn't load files saved in utf-8 encoding. After changing the file encoding it worked like a charm.

This old issue pointed me in the right direction https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-2462
