Description

Minimal script to reproduce the issue:

#!/usr/bin/env groovy

class Example {

    void method(String... args) {
    }

    static void method(List<String> args, File workDirectory, Appendable out, Appendable err) {
    }

    void execute() {
        method("a", "b", "c", "d")
    }
}

Example ex = new Example()
ex.execute()

Running this script on Windows produces the following exception:

Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: static Example.method() is applicable for argument types: (String, String, String, String) values: [a, b, c, d]
Possible solutions: method([Ljava.lang.String;), method(java.util.List, java.io.File, java.lang.Appendable, java.lang.Appendable)
