I figured out why:
By default macros are using CompilePhase.CONVERSION and at this point the
compiler doesn't care about types. That's why it didn't recognized neither
"JsonOutput" (When using JsonOutput.toJson...) nor "groovy" (When using
groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson...):
The way it's working now is:
Statement stmt = macro(CompilePhase.SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS, true) {
groovy.json.JsonOutput($v{mapExpression})
}
or...
MethodCallExpression methodCall = macro(CompilePhase.SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS) {
groovy.json.JsonOutput($v{mapExpression})
}
...in case you wanted to get the method call expression directly.
