Description

class A {
    void foo() {
        new B().r()
    }

    class B {
        def r() {
            new C("")
        }
    }

    class C {
        C(s) {}
    }
}

new A().foo()

The code above fails with the following error

Caught: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find matching constructor for: A$C(java.lang.String)
	at A$B.r(TryGroovy.groovy:8)
	at A.foo(TryGroovy.groovy:3)
