Description

Groovy doesn't support anonymous inner classes if they extend a non static inner class. For example:

class Outer {
    int outer() { 1 }
    abstract class Inner {
        abstract int inner()
    }
    int test() {
        Inner inner = new Inner() {
            int inner() { outer() }
        }
        inner.inner()
    }
}
assert new Outer().test() == 1
