Access to a private property of a parent object is not caught

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      I have the following ill-typed program

      class A {
  private int getX() {
    return 1;
  }
}

class B extends A {
  void test() {
    def y = super.x;
    System.out.println(y);
  }
}

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      new B().test();
    }
}

      Actual behavior

      The program compiles. When I run it, I receive:

      Exception in thread "main" groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: x for class: B
        at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.unwrap(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:68)
        at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.getPropertyOnSuper(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:426)
        at B.test(test.groovy:9)
        at Test.main(test.groovy:16)

      Expected behavior

      The problem is on line 9, when the program accesses the private property x of the parent object.

      Tested against master (commit: e17149013c5943ad3493f9597e6720eb6529d120)
