[jira] [Comment Edited] (GROOVY-10558) Wrong argument type when using static method from nested class

["Eric Milles (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10558?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17515944#comment-17515944 ]

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

The compiler adds "methodMissing" as seen below to handle outer class method references.  It is the spread over {{args}} which converts the byte array into individual byte arguments.

{code:groovy}
class Example {
    static byte[] hash(byte[] bytes) {
        bytes
    }
    static class Nested {        
        def getCacheKey(byte[] payload) {
            hash(payload)
        }
        def methodMissing(String name, args) {
            return Example."$name"(*args)
        }
    }
}
{code}
