Actually, it references the method that I'm looking to expose.
Sylvan suggests a workaround. He says:
An example: last week, a customer of mine (I do mentoring for
them and they're not subscribed to users@) asked me "I get a "no
such property or method" error when calling
context.getRealPath() in my flowscript. Why?". I answered that
this method isn't available in flowscript and provided a
10-lines workaround involving looking up the sourceresolver
and resolving a "context://" URL.
Can anyone expand on this? I'll use this work around rather than
try and ask for a vote.
