I have the following code that works with Groovy 2.5.7:

import groovy.json.JsonBuilder

def name = "foo"
def builder = new JsonBuilder()

builder {
            _id name
            contactInformation {
                telephoneNumber("12345")
                emailAddress("foo@foo.com")
            }
        }

println builder.toString()

Same code with groovy 3.0.2 returns the following error:

The current scope already contains a variable of the name name @ line 11, column 17. _id name ^ unable to resolve class _id @ line 11, column 17. _id name

Replacing _id with id or '_id' solves the problem

Can someone please explain why this error occurs with 3.0.2 but not with 2.5.7?

What is your question? I don't see any in your post. – Werner Henze Mar 23 '20 at 16:51
sorry... the question is actually why do I get this error with groovy 3.0.2 and not 2.5.7 ... – Bob Mar 23 '20 at 17:04
It's better to update the question than to add details in a comment. I edited your question so it contains all that is necessary. – Werner Henze Mar 23 '20 at 17:10
