Including a groovy script in another groovy

Question

I have read how to simply import a groovy file in another groovy script

I want to define common functions in one groovy file and call those functions from other groo

Answer 1

Another way to do this is to define the functions in a groovy class and parse and add the file to the classpath at runtime:

File sourceFile = new File("path_to_file.groovy");
Class groovyClass = new GroovyClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader()).parseClass(sourceFile);
GroovyObject myObject = (GroovyObject) groovyClass.newInstance();
