Inconsistency between CompilerConfiguration, groovy -c and groovysh ?

Description

Given the following script, saved as enc_test.groovy

import org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilerConfiguration
println "File source encoding is probably set to " + CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT.getSourceEncoding()

I would assume all three executions below to print "UTF-8", but they don't:

$ groovy -c UTF-8 enc_test.groovy
File source encoding is probably set to MacRoman

$ groovy -Dgroovy.source.encoding=UTF-8 enc_test.groovy
File source encoding is probably set to MacRoman

$ groovysh -Dgroovy.source.encoding=UTF-8
groovy:000> org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT.getSourceEncoding()
===> UTF-8

The reason I was printing this info was to track down an encoding issue I had; turns out the -c flag actually works for me (i.e my sources are properly decoded) (while the -Dgroovy.source.encoding option doesn't), but I was looking for a way to ensure my scripts are executed with -c UTF-8, but the above snippet obviously doesn't help.

The consistency between groovy and groovysh is fixed now.

Source encoding on CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT is manipulatable using the system property groovy.source.encoding and it now works with both groovy/groovysh as shown below.

$groovy -Dgroovy.source.encoding=UTF-8 enc_test.groovy
File source encoding is probably set to UTF-8

$groovysh -Dgroovy.source.encoding=UTF-8
groovy:000> org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT.getSourceEncoding()
===> UTF-8

"groovy -c " allows you to override the CompilerConfiguration that is made-up from system properties. So, it also works correctly (as you already noticed), but it won't modify the source encoding on CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT configuration.

Sounds good, thanks!

Now is there a safe way to get the current source encoding at runtime? Can I access the CompilerConfiguration instance that was used to compile/execute my script ?

No, as far as I know, that particular CompilerConfiguration instance is not exposed.
