Why is Config.groovy variable not defined in plugin's config?

I have a Grails app (myapp) that uses a custom plugin (grails-fizz). In myapp's Config.groovy I have the following var defined:

logfile = "/opt/myapp/logs/myapp.log"

I then pull in grails-fizz as a plugin inside the app's BuildConfig.groovy file. In grails-fizz's FizzGrailsPlugin.groovy, I try to use that value:

def doWithApplicationContext = { ctx ->
    println("The logfile is ${logfile}.")
}

When this runs I get the following error:

Error initializing the application: No such property: logfile for class: FizzGrailsPlugin

It seems that the plugin doesn't have scope/visibility over this var? What's the solution?

From the documentation

Every plugin has an implicit application variable which is an instance of the GrailsApplication interface.

So you can use application.config to access the configuration.

You can access configuration values through the configuration object.

def doWithApplicationContext = { ctx ->
  def config = ctx.config
  println println "The logfile is ${config.logfile}."
}
