> Having a method in a base class and using that method in an assignment in an inheriting class to assign a field of the same name as that method causes a NullPointerException.
> Try executing the attached script with Groovy 3.0.7. It will yield:
> {code:java}
> ❯ groovy test.groovy
> Caught: java.lang.NullPointerException
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> 	at Child.setup(test.groovy:11)
> 	at Child$setup.call(Unknown Source)
> 	at test.run(test.groovy:16)
> 	at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
> 	at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62)
> 	at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)
> {code}
> As a work around the method call to foo() can explicitly be prefixed with `super.`
