Description

super method invocation does not work in the example provided below. The subclass test1() method gets called instead of the superclass test1() method.This is broken in RC2 and RC1 but worked with previous releases.

Consider the following code:
A.groovy
package test
class A {
def test()

{ test1() }

def test1() {
}
}

B.groovy
package test
class B extends A {
static void main(args)

{ new B().test() }

def test1()

{ super.test1() }

}

Here's the execution result:
