Trying out the latest snapshot for 4.0.28, I'm encountering an error locally in my company's app's test suite. Based on the origin of the tests, this seems to be a regression of GROOVY-9526 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9526>, or at least in that vicinity.
I've created a test (similar to the one we had in our app), which demonstrates the problem. https://github.com/apache/groovy/compare/GROOVY_4_0_X...jonnybot0:groovy:GROOVY-9526-regression-semantic-analysis-exception?expand=1 This was not failing as recently as a week or two ago, so I suspect it's a relatively recent change. I'm open to being told that the semantics I'm using in this test are truly just invalid and unsupported, but I'll need some clearer idea *why* they are, as we may need to pass some guidance on to our users. Trying to raise this before release in case it's an easy fix.
