Description

The sample below outputs "value" as is. When cl.resolveStrategy = Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST is added before cl(), it outputs "null" when I would expect "value" since that's available from owner. When cl.resolveStrategy = Closure.DELEGATE_ONLY is added instead, it outputs "null" when I would expect a missing property exception.

class Test {
  def prop = 'value'
  def meth() {
    def cl = { -> println prop }
    cl.delegate = [:]
    cl()
  }
}
new Test().meth()

This was run using Groovy Web Console.
