             Summary: MissingMethodException when private method is called on 
parent class in a closure
                 Key: GROOVY-8905
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8905
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: class generator
    Affects Versions: 2.5.4, 3.0.0-alpha-3, 2.6.0-alpha-4
            Reporter: Caleb Ott


This appears to be a bug since a MissingMethodException is being thrown when it 
shouldn't be.

Here is the simplified code to reproduce the issue. I've tested on 
2.5.4/2.6.0-alpha-4/3.0.0-alpha-3.
{code:java}
class Parent {
 protected void doSomethingParent() {
 // calling it outside of the closure works fine
 theSomething(1_000, 'This works')

 // setup a closure that calls another private method in the parent
 Closure closure = { int num ->
 // calling it inside the closure breaks
 theSomething(num, 'this breaks')
 }

 closure(10)
 }

 // only breaks because it is "private"
 private void theSomething(int num, String someValue) {
 println "${num} = ${someValue}"
 }
}

class Child extends Parent {
 void doSomethingChild() {
 // just calls the parent method
 doSomethingParent()
 }
}

// run the test
def test = new Child()
test.doSomethingChild()

{code}
Output:
{noformat}
1000 = This works
Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: 
Child.theSomething() is applicable for argument types: (Integer, String) 
values: [10, this breaks]
