Description

If I use the method shouldFail of the GroovyTestCase class I run into the following problem.

shouldFail(MyException) {...} only works if MyException contains no nested exceptions. If an exception new MyException(new NullpointerException) is thrown, shouldFail makes the test fail, saying that it expects a NullPointerException.
