You have a scope problem and need to move the logger declaration into your A class. Also if slf4j is not available in your classpath, @Grab is your friend.

The following works when running the script in the GroovyScriptEngine:

@Grab('org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:2.0.16')
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
import org.slf4j.Logger

class A {
  Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("l")
  public A() {
    logger.info("L")
  }
}
A a = new A()

Note: I don't know how OpenHAB is executing the Groovy code. If it is using the GroovyShell then use groovy.grape.Grape.grab('org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:2.0.16') instead.See https://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/grape.html for details.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

OpenHAB 4.2.1 is written in Java and has a Groovy 4.0.11 plugin to programme 
logic.  It allows writing code outside of classes, which is executed 
immediately.  When I place a file openhab/jsr223/test.groovy:


   import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("l") class A {
     public A() {
       logger.info("L")
     }
   }
   A a = new A()


the system logs

2024-08-21 12:15:21.061 [ERROR] [ipt.internal.ScriptEngineManagerImpl] - Error 
during evaluation of script ‘/etc/openhab/automation/jsr223/test.groovy’: 
javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such 
property: logger for class: A

How can I make logger visible within the methods of class A, without passing it 
as parameter to the constructor?
