Daniel Sun commented on GROOVY-8085:
------------------------------------
*The issue can be decribled accurately as follows:*
If the inner try block contains return statement(no matter whether explicit
return or not) and the inner finally block throws exceptions, the outer try
block can not catch it. e.g.
{code}
try {
try {
...
return ... // no matter whether explicit return or not
} finally {
... // exceptionX is thrown
}
} catch (Throwable t) { // the exceptionX can not be catched
...
}
{code}
> Exception in "finally" not caught by outer "try"

> Key: GROOVY-8085
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8085
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4.8
> Environment: linux
> Reporter: Craig Silverstein
> Assignee: Daniel Sun
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.5.0-beta-1
>
>
> I would expect the following code to print `caughtt`:
> ```
> groovy -e 'try { try { true; } finally { 1 / 0 } } catch (e) { println
> "caughtt" }'
> ```
> But instead, it prints:
> ```
> Caught: java.lang.ArithmeticException: Division by zero
> java.lang.ArithmeticException: Division by zero
> at script_from_command_line.run(script_from_command_line:1)
> ```
> Why is the exception, thrown by the `finally`, not being caught by the outer
> try/catch?
