Description

The following code

foo = new Foo()

if(foo.hello()()) {
  println "do"
  println "do"
  println "do"
  println "do"      
}


class Foo {
   boolean hello() {true}
}

Produces the error

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.lang.Boolean.call() is applicable for argument types: () values: {}
	at Script1.run(Script1:7)

As you can see the line number says its line 7 (the closing bracket of the if) which is confusing as the actual problem is on line 3. I spent ages slowing ripping out more and more code inside a larger if trying to figure out what the problem was
