[GROOVY-5876] Problem With Arguments Passed To Static Dynamic Methods - ASF JIRA

If I do something like this...

String.metaClass.doSomething = { Object[] args ->
    println args.length
}

'Scott Gorham'.doSomething(1, 2, 3)

args.length is 3, which is what I would expect.

If I do something like this...

String.metaClass.static.doSomething = { Object[] args ->
    println args.length
    println args[0].length
}

String.doSomething(1, 2, 3)

Then args.length is 1 and args[0].length is 3. The array that contains the actual arguments (1, 2, 3) is being wrapped inside of another array.

The instance method is behaving the way I would expect. The static method is not. It seems like these should behave the same with respect to this.
