Description

The enclosing method is not set for anonymous inner classes. AST transformations may rely on that information (actually, GROOVY-5647 has a workaround for this).

For example:

class A {
   void enclosingMethod() {
       Runnable r = new Runnable() { void run() {} }
   }
}

If you inspect the AST, you will see that encoding method for the anonymous runnable is null.
