Creating a global mock for an abstract class fails with a java.lang.InstantiationError #342

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Steps to reproduce (with 1.0-groovy-2.0-SNAPSHOT):
- create an abstract class, say MyAbstractClass
- try to create a global mock for it, GroovyMock(MyAbstractClass, global: true)
- see java.lang.InstantiationError being thrown
- remove global: true and rerun - no exception is thrown

This defect kind of kills the ability to mock static methods in some cases as 
frameworks (Atmosphere in my case) quite often provide them on abstract classes.
