Paul King updated GROOVY-9648:
------------------------------
Description:
For this class here:
{code}
class Person {
String name
Person(String name) {
this.name = name
}
}
{code}
Attempting to construct an instance but supplying the incorrect type yields
expected error messages:
{code}
new Person(new Date()) // groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find
matching constructor for: Person(Date)
new Person(name: new Date()) // groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: failed to
invoke constructor: public Person(java.lang.String) with arguments: [] reason:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: wrong number of arguments
{code}
The second is using normal named args which needs a no-arg constructor.
But when swapping to indy we get:
{code}
new Person(new Date()) // groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find
matching constructor for: Person(Date) [Same]
new Person(name: new Date()) // java.lang.invoke.WrongMethodTypeException:
cannot convert MethodHandle(String)Person to ()Object [Bad Message]
{code}
> Bad error message when attempting to call a missing constructor
