Hello Community,

Is there any preferred method to **invalidate cache via a Groovy script** which can be executed by Nexus task executor?

Following the groovy scripting guide provided at ([GitHub - sonatype-nexus-community/nexus-scripting-examples: Sample scripts that use NXRM's scripting interface](https://github.com/sonatype-nexus-community/nexus-scripting-examples)).

I think the **Repository API for scripts** ([REST and Integration API](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/integrations/rest-and-integration-api#RESTandIntegrationAPI-ScriptingAPI)) only allows to view the content/ **create new repositories via Groovy**. Could this API be somehow extended to invalidate group repository cache via Groovy?

Would manually creating an Object of RepositoryCacheInvalidationService class in Groovy ([nexus-public/RepositoryCacheInvalidationService.java at main · sonatype/nexus-public · GitHub](https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-public/blob/main/components/nexus-repository-services/src/main/java/org/sonatype/nexus/repository/cache/RepositoryCacheInvalidationService.java)) to call cache invalidation function work? Or could there be a better way to handle it via Groovy?

As of now I could only found a way to do it via a cURL POST request \<nexus-url/service/rest/v1/repositories/npm-group/invalidate-cache\> .

Many thanks in advance for your support.

Cheers
