>          Components: groovy-runtime
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.18
>            Reporter: gekm
>            Priority: Major
>
> A parent and inner child classes:
> {code}
> class Parent {
>     def name
>     def child = new Child()
>     def call() {
>         println('parent called')
>     }

> class Child {
>     def call() {
>         println('child called')
>    }
> }
> {code}
> Calling:
> {code}
> import base.Parent
> parent = new Parent(name: 'parent')
> parent()
> parent.child.call()
> parent.child()
> {code}
> output:
> {noformat}
> parent called
> child called
> Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: base.Parent.child() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
> Possible solutions: call(), find(), find(groovy.lang.Closure), getChild(), setChild(java.lang.Object), split(groovy.lang.Closure)
> {noformat}
