Groovy: Named Parameter Constructors

Question

I was very cool what can be done:

class Foo { String name } def foo = new Foo(name:"Test") 

But this only works when the file name matches the class name. If I have a file with a bunch of classes like:

 class AllClassesInOneFile { class Bar {} class Foo { String name } } def foo = new Foo(name:"Test") 

Now it no longer works. I get java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: wrong number of arguments

I wonder if it is possible to call the argument style of the parameter name using scripts and nested classes.

Hello

Groovy seems to need an explicit reference to an instance of an external class:

 class Baz { class Bar {} class Foo { String name } } def baz = new Baz() def f = new Baz.Foo(baz, [name: "john doe"]) assert f.name == "john doe"
