Description

import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

@CompileStatic
class Client<T> {
  static String method() {
    return ({
      try {
        return doSomething()
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
        println "IOException: ${ioe}"
      } catch (Exception e) {
        println "Exception: ${e}"
      }
    })()
  }

  private static <T> T doSomething() throws IOException {
    throw new IOException()
    return null
  }
}

Client.method()

Without the @CompileStatic, it outputs (as expected)

IOException: java.io.IOException

With the @CompileStatic, it outputs

Exception: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerInvocationException: java.io.IOException
