Description

In Groovy 2.5, the annotation would be found, in Groovy 3 it is not.

 

 Simple example:

 

import org.codehaus.groovy.ast.builder.AstBuilder
import org.codehaus.groovy.ast.*

ASTNode[] nodes = new AstBuilder().buildFromString('''
@interface Foo {
    String value() default ""
}

@interface Bar {

    @Foo
    String value()
}
''')

 

nodes[2].methods[0].getAnnotations()
