Can someone please explain why the call to qux fails? It doesn't seem to capture the name of the static closure variable foo when it is created. If I purposely assign the name to a variable as in baz it works, or if I call it through the class. I thought this variable capture should work for closure class variables too but I must be missing something.
class C {
static foo = { "foo" }
static bar = { C.foo() }
static baz = { def f = foo; f() }
static qux = { foo() }
}
println C.foo() //works
println C.bar() //works
println C.baz() //works
println C.qux() //fails
I also tried this as a test and it had no problem capturing the i variable:
class C {
static i = 3
static times3 = { "foo: ${it * i}" }
}
println C.times3(2) //works
[edit] Lastly, if foo is simply a method, it also works as I expected:
class C {
static foo() { "foo" }
static bar = { foo() }
}
println C.bar() //works
