groovy print environments from groovy.config - groovy

Question

how do I print available environments from a config file? What is the form of the ojbect ConfigSlurper creates?
I tried
def config2 = new ConfigSlurper().parse(new File('obieeadmincfg.groovy').toURL())
config2.config.environments.each { println ${it} }
and
println prettyPrint(toJson(config2))
and
for ( i in 0 ..config2.config.environments.size()-1)
println config2.config.environments[i]
groovy.config
//Config3.groovy
obieadmin {
//default values
serverurl = "http://default.mycompany.com"
}
environments {
pldev01 {
obieeadmin {
serverurl = 'devgdwobi03.x.com'
}
}
plsbx02 {
obieeadmin {
serverurl = 'devgdwobi03.x.com'
}
}
}

I'm afraid you can't do this out-of box.
But using a bit of Groovy Metaprogramming it's achievable.
Groovy config slurper parses proper Groovy file, and you can do the same with GroovyShell. You can catch call to environment method providing closure in binding. In that closure you have to collect all top-level method calls(with same methodMissing).
Providing base script with property and method missing handlers, you can suppress runtime errors, and execute script without much care to other properties.
Not the nicest path, but it works.
package test
import org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilerConfiguration
class A extends Script {
def propertyMissing(String name) { null }
def propertyMissing(String name, def arg) {}
def methodMissing(String name, def args) {}
#Override Object run() { null }
}
class NameCollector {
def envs = []
def methodMissing(String name, def args) { envs << name }
}
// configure interceptors.
def configuration = new CompilerConfiguration()
configuration.scriptBaseClass = 'test.A'
def nc = new NameCollector()
def environments = { Closure it ->
it.delegate = nc;
it.resolveStrategy = Closure.DELEGATE_ONLY
it()
}
// execute config script
new GroovyShell([environments: environments] as Binding, configuration).evaluate(new File("config.groovy"))
nc.envs // Return, print them.

Not sure if this is going to work forever but currently you can do it by overriding the setting for the 'environments' conditional block, like this:
def config = """environments {
dev {
foo = "bar"
}
prod {
foo = "baz"
}
}"""
def configSlurper = new ConfigSlurper()
configSlurper.registerConditionalBlock('environments', null)
assert configSlurper.parse(config).environments.keySet() == ['dev', 'prod'].toSet()
