             Summary: Overriding getProperty makes getAttribute throw missing property exception
                 Key: GROOVY-8398
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8398
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4.12
         Environment: Ubuntu
            Reporter: jacob shnaidman


The following code fails in two unexpected ways:

{code:java}
class PropClass {
    String myString = 'groovyClass'
    String otherProp = 'other Property'

    void myMethod() {
        //do nothing
    }

    void registerMethod(Closure closure) {
        this.metaClass.myMethod = closure
    }

    def getProperty(String name) {
        if (name == 'otherProp')
            //forward the request to getter
            return metaClass.getProperty(this, name)
        else if (name == 'myString') {
            return 'myString'
        }
        else
            return "new var $name"
    }
}

PropClass properties = new PropClass()
GroovyAssert.shouldFail {
    println properties.metaClass.getAttribute(properties, 'myString')
}
properties.registerMethod { ->
    println 'this fails'    
}
{code}

This happens whenever you override getProperties
