-------------------------------------

             Summary: Groovy DSL non-deterministic behavior
                 Key: GROOVY-8941
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8941
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Groovy Console
    Affects Versions: 2.5.2
         Environment: jdk: oracle jdk 1.8.0_191
groovy: 2.5.2
os: windows
            Reporter: ShaoXian Song


I'm using groovyConsole to see the generated class code of the following two Groovy scripts:
{code:java}
process test{
    output:
    file 'output.txt' into b, c

    """
    echo hello
    """
}
{code}
Here is its generated code snippet like below:
{code:java}
public java.lang.Object run() {
this.process(this.test({ 
this.file('output.txt').into(b, c)
'\n echo hello\n '
}))
}
{code}
And here is the second script that differs from the previous one - this one uses parentheses in file() method invocation:
{code:java}
process test{
    output:
    file('output.txt') into b, c

    """
    echo hello
    """
}
{code}
And this is generated code from the second script:
{code:java}
public java.lang.Object run() {
process.test({ 
this.file('output.txt').into(b, c)
'\n echo hello\n '
})
}
{code}
 As you can see, {{process}} is no longer a function but a variable. It confuses me because I would expect that in both cases {{process}} should be seen as a function call. Is this an expected behavior? Do I miss something?
