Groovy subclass called superclass method that accesses closure

Question

I have a groovy superclass that looks like:

class AGroovyClass {
   private String str = \"hello\"
   void printString(int nTimes) {
     nTimes.times { prin         


        

Answer 1

It is an old bug with private access modifier. It works if you define str protected. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-2433

edit: Can you avoid closure, use a for loop instead? Not so cool, but works :)
