Eric Milles updated GROOVY-9851:
--------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 2.4.16)
> Private field and method use from subclass is inconsistent
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-9851
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9851
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Eric Milles
> Assignee: Eric Milles
> Priority: Minor
>
> This is probably just a slice of GROOVY-1591, GROOVY-3010, GROOVY-3142,
> GROOVY-5438, et al. Adding {{super.}} qualifier causes strange behaviors.
> Please consider the following:
> {code:java}
> class Foo {
> private String field = 'field'
> private String method() { 'method' }
> }
> class Bar extends Foo {
> def baz() {
> field // MissingPropertyException: No such property: field for class: Bar
> method() // MissingMethodException: No signature of method: Bar.method()
> this.field // MissingPropertyException: No such property: field for
> class: Bar
> this.method() // MissingMethodException: No signature of method:
> Bar.method()
> // so far, so good -- although Groovy allows access to private fields and
> methods from outside of Bar and Foo
> super.field // MissingMethodException: No signature of method:
> Bar.getField() -- that's strange
> super.method() // returns "method" -- Why is this okay?
> super.@field // MissingMethodException: No signature of method:
> Bar.getField() -- that's strange
> super.&method // returns MethodClosure that throws NPE when called:
> (super.&method)() // NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method call() on
> null object-- If super.method() works, why doesn't this?
> }
> }
> {code}
