Description

the following scripts fails, because the methodMissing not in A throws a MissingMethodException, but the Exception is not catched, because it is wrapped in a invokerInvocationException and not unpacked correctly. As a result the Closure code fails to catch the MissingMethodException and does no longer call A#missingMethod

class A {
  def invokeMethod(String name, args) {
     "A" 
  }
}

def methodMissing(String name, args) {
  visited=true
  throw new MissingMethodException(name,this.class,args)
}

visited=false
def closure = { foo() }
closure.delegate = new A()
assert closure() == "A"
assert visited==true
