There was a typo in my previous mail missingMethod -> methodMissing.
It still doesn not work, a.method1() throws MissingMethodException
after adding the methodMissing via category.
class MyClass{
}
a = new MyClass()
@Category(MyClass)
class MyCategory {
def methodMissing(String name, def args) { "missingMethod" }
def propertyMissing(String name) { "propertyMissing" }
def test() { "works" }
}
use(MyCategory) {
assert "works" == a.test()
//assert "propertyMissing" == a.property1 // MissingPropertyException
assert "missingMethod" == a.method1() // MissingMethodException
}
