    - #### @Deprecated public String getText(String uriOrFilename)

      Get the text of the Groovy script at the given location. If the location is a file path and it does not exist as given, then GroovyMain.huntForTheScriptFile is called to try with some Groovy extensions appended. This method is not used to process scripts and is retained for backward compatibility. If you want to modify how GroovyMain processes scripts then use GroovyMain.getScriptSource.

      throws:
        IOException
