Description

create two files:

foo.groovy:
println new bar()

bar.groovy:
class bar { // intentional error

Put them in the same directory and put that directory in the classpath.

groovy foo.groovy:
General error during class generation: No such class: bar in constructor call for class: foo. At [1:9] foo.groovy

1 Error

I'm sure its swallowing the error when it tries to compile bar.groovy.
