Description

I am seeing odd behavior when I try to use a MarkupBuilder in a static method. The following fails with a MissingMethodException (waba is the missing method):

Foo.groovy

class Foo {

  static void main(args) {
	def xml = new groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder()
	def configMap = [name:'Jeff']

	xml.foo {
		configMap.each { key, value ->
			waba(name:'bar')
		}
	}
  }
}

The following seems to work fine:

Foo.groovy

class Foo {

  static void main(args) {
	new Foo() 
  }
  
  public Foo() {
	def xml = new groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder()
	def configMap = [name:'Jeff']

	xml.foo {
		configMap.each { key, value ->
			waba(name:'bar')
		}
	}
  }
}
