Hi guys,

giving the new Groovy 2.5 macro functionality a spin, and would have expected the code below to replace the "call" to nv(x) with the AST expression created in the method, i.e. returning the name of the "passed" variable. Instead no macro magic happens, and the compilation accordingly fails with "groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: groovy.GroovyMacroSpike.nv() is applicable for argument types: (Integer) values: [123]":

import org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.Expression
import org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.VariableExpression
import org.codehaus.groovy.macro.runtime.Macro import 
org.codehaus.groovy.macro.runtime.MacroContext
import org.junit.Ignore import org.junit.Test import static 
org.codehaus.groovy.ast.tools.GeneralUtils.constX

class GroovyMacroSpike {
  @Test @Ignore void nvTest() {
    final x =123 assert x ==123 assert nv(x) =="x" }

  @Macro Expression nv(MacroContext ctx, VariableExpression variable) {
    return constX(variable.getName());
  }
}

What is missing to make this work ?
