[groovy-user] Anonymous nested try/catch on same exception class

[Jürgen Hermann]

Hi, I regard the following as unexpected, though it's easily fixed by naming the exception objects dummy1, dummy2, ... JIRA?

> groovy -version
Groovy Version: 1.1-rc-1 JVM: 1.6.0_01-b06
> cat x7.groovy
import javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException;

try {
} catch (InstanceNotFoundException) {
try {
} catch (InstanceNotFoundException) {
}
}

> groovy x7.groovy
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, x7.groovy: 6: The current scope already contains a variable of the name InstanceNotFoundException
@ line 6, column 7.
} catch (InstanceNotFoundException) {
^

1 error

Ciao, Jürgen

You should either do catch (e) or catch (InstanceNotFoundException
infe), but not just the type won't work. The runtime believes in your
case that InstanceNotFoundException is a variable name, not a class.
