Eric Milles updated GROOVY-8350:
--------------------------------
Description:
This seems like a bug (but it could just be a clarification in the
documentation). And is seems related to GROOVY-8152, GROOVY-8153, and
GROOVY-8154.
{{System.currentTimeMillis()}} is your typical static call.
{{System.getClass().currentTimeMillis()}} results in a MissingMethodException,
as it should.
However, {{System.class.currentTimeMillis()}} and {{def sys = System.class;
sys.currentTimeMillis()}} both compile and execute fine. I would expect a
MissingMethodException for these as well.
Is there some trick where methodMissing on class instance can find the static
method or something? My Java experience says no {{currentTimeMillis}} method
on {{Class}}.
