Also this does not fail in groovy to any 3 or 4 version of Groovy. It also works for Groovy 5 alpha 1. If it fails for master it must be something more recent Trying out master with 191231a832efd2e2fc49391c01f8d176944d68e3 I can also not reproduce the issue was (Author: blackdrag): Even though Test.A::m is a private method, A is an inner class of Test and thus Test would have access to the method in Java.

Actual behaviour > The compiler accepts the program, but I receive the following runtime error, > because I access a private method. > {code} > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class Test tried to > access private method 'java.lang.String Test$A.m()' (Test and Test$A are in > unnamed module of loader 'app') > at Test.main(groovy51.groovy:9) > {code} > h3.
