Could you share a gist with code of this class?
com.jumbo.shared.widgets.PlayWidget
It looks like a bug but I don't know how to reproduce it. Java client widget tests use objects with protected constructors and private/protected fields which are populated and everything is ok.
@aznime
Also.
How should I check it? Have you a Groovy project?
Sorry for the late reply. I was trying to create a demo project for this purpose.

@aznime
Thank you. I've started to search for the root cause of the error.
@aznime
Ok. It seems I know the root cause. I think that cglib and reflection are not used properly at some cases and I'm going to fix it.
As a workaround I can advice you to change class modifiers to public.
public class UICatalogWidget extends Widget {
...
}Can you do it and send a message about the result.
@TikhomirovSergey
I got the same exception after explicitly using the public modifier.
@aznime
The fix is going to be included at 3.4.1 very soon!
The fix has been merged and it is going to be published
