Possible bug with method references when doing this::foo

[Ali Akhtar]

In a project, when I do the following:

SomeClass.someMethod( this::handleResult);

I get :  com.google.gwt.event.shared.UmbrellaException: Exception caught: (ReferenceError) : xFf_g$ is not defined

But when I replace the above line with:

SomeClass.someMethod( r-> handleResult(r) );

That works fine. 

It appears that the use of 'this' is causing some issues due to javascript's crappiness. Other method references work fine, I only encounter this when I use this::methodName

We wrote a small test case with this::foo, but did not see any problems.

Could you provide more details so that we can reproduce the bug?

Did you run with the latest trunk? We just fixed a bug in GwtAstBuilder and we guess that it might be a possible cause to the bug in method reference.

I am on the temporary maven snapshot repo that's being hosted on github. But it builds every 24 hrs so I'm guessing that it may not yet have the patch for this bug. If its occurring tomorrow, I'll create a test case.

Thanks.
