Description

The test 'testClosureCallWithPrivateMethod' fails with Groovy 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 (I don't know about the other versions). It should not fail.

class Parent {
    void publicMethod1() {
        privateMethod()
    }

    void publicMethod2() {
        [''].each { privateMethod()}
    }

    void publicMethod3() {
        [''].each { protectedMethod()} 
    }

    private void privateMethod() {}

    protected void protectedMethod() {}
}

class Child extends Parent {}

class ClosureMethodCallTest extends GroovyTestCase {
    void testDirectCall() {
        // No exceptions means the test passes
        new Child().publicMethod1()
    }
    
    void testClosureCallWithPrivateMethod() {
        // No exceptions means the test passes
        new Child().publicMethod2()
    }

    void testClosureCallWithProtectedMethod() {
        // No exceptions means the test passes
        new Child().publicMethod3()
    }
}
