Ok I think I know... Actually the message is printed in the console.
You see something in the page only if you print in the global scope because this is what gets returned by script evaluation. Calling “println” in a class doesn’t return anything in the evaluation and thus you don’t see anything. That’s why the examples at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Groovy+Macro work.

I don’t know… I’ve tried it in the groovy web console and it works so it’s something specific to the way XWiki uses Groovy. Could be because that we use the Scripting API (JSR 223) to access Groovy. It probably means that the output is not wired when inside the class scope but I’m not sure why… The method is invoked for since the following works fine: {{groovy}} class Callee { String hello() { return "hello, world" } } c = new Callee() println c.hello() {{/groovy}} If someone has an idea… Thanks -Vincent > I have programming rights, and running scripts in general works fine.
