Description

The following code...

InnerClassGString.groovy:

class Outer {  
  def foo() {
    def r = new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        println "value of x is $x" // ${getX()} works, also $x with a field x
      }
    }       
    r.run()
  }  
  
  def getX() { 10 }     
}         

new Outer().foo()                    

...produces (when run via groovy command):

Caught: groovy.lang.MissingFieldException: No such field: x for class: Outer
