Description

Since moving to grails 2.5.0 (groovy 2.4.x) our functional tests (geb/spock) are failing when we try to run interact closures inside of a trait. I'm not entirely sure who owns this one as there are three or four players groovy, grails, geb/spock, but groovy seemed like the most logical culprit.

Example Usage

trait DoStuff {
   def clickItemOnPage() {
      interact {
         moveToElement($('.myDiv'))
         click()
      }
   }
}
class MySpec extends GebReportingSpec  implements DoStuff {
   def clickItemOnPage2() {
      interact {
         moveToElement($('.myDiv'))
         click()
      }
   }
   def 'Test some stuff' { 
      clickItemOnPage2() //Passes
      clickItemOnPage() //Fails
   }
}

Error: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: geb.navigator.NonEmptyNavigator.moveToElement()
It really doesn't matter what you have in the interact closure anything fails...
