Description

I get the following stacktrace when running some tests using either groovy http-builder 0.7.2 or the grails rest-client-builder plugin 2.0.3. The problem goes away in grails 2.3.10. I believe the bug is in groovy 2.3.X and is caused by the following commit in StreamingMarkupBuilder where the return type for the bind() method was changed to Writeable:

https://github.com/groovy/groovy-core/commit/77040982113e08175e0dfd19950fcb2fae177102#diff-5bfd9ab05363e18c9afd9d9076d341c8

Here is a sample stacktrace:
