Hi,
I have run the tests again several times (at least 3). I alternated between compiling with Groovy.2.4.10 and Groovy2.4.15 With 2.4.10 the module compiled without fail and the code highlighted before worked as expected. With 2.4.15 the module produced the same error as first reported and that included following mg's advice and doing several 'build's of the module but it failed every time in the same way. I guess the thing to do is download the intermediate version to find out where there was a change 2.4.n and 2.4.n+1 to see where the change of version causes a problem. I will now start that exercise.

I had installed 2.4.10 and the code that was failing before is now working and I was able to run it. However I did not have to do build more than once for each component. The build in total requires the compilation of 6 modules. So I do not know now whether it is a bug or just a problem with Intellij. I will reinstall 2.4.15 and see if I can build it again and get it to work.

While it might seem logical that, if anything, "rebuild" fixes the problem, for my that was never the case: "rebuild" just took a long time, then failed with the same error. In my case, the problem always stays away for some time once the build works again. I would try my suggestion first, since it will take no more than the time it takes for you to try to build your project several times. On the ther hand, if you have run into the same indeterministic problem, you will not be able to "find the point at which the code worked" - or, to be more precise, you will only think that you have found it, but it might just have worked by accident. In the beginning I did also not believe that the problem was indeterministic, since I kept changing thing until the build "worked again" - until I finally realized, that just clicking "build" several times in a row actually could make the build work (Note: My build does not have any steps outside of Groovy compilation over multiple modules). mg On 13.04.2018 17:32, Kerridge, Jon wrote: Hi, Thanks for the advice, will still try to see if I can find the point at which the code worked and is no longer working but will bear in mind your comment. It looks as though moving to Intellij mught not have been the shangrilar it was made out to be!!

Only my code is correct, and the problem dissappears every time if I rebuild the project multiple times (without any changes between builds). Afair IntelliJ introduced some kind of caching mechanism to speed up Groovy builds some time back, and I assume this is the cause of the problem. So it might sound odd, but I would suggest you try rebuilding your project multiple times in a row, with a little bit of delay between builds, if possible through different build paths (e.g. build a submodule other modules depend on first, etc), to see if the build suddenly works in your case too.

I am building a a Groovy Parallel Patterns Library and this is just one of the demos of the library I am working on. I have had the code working in an Eclipse envrionment with an earlier release of 2.4 probably around 10 or 11. I have now moved to Intellij and this has thrown up the problem. I will download a previous release of 2.4.n and see if I can get the code to work and that may then help you to identify the problem. I have been doing a major revision of my codebase moving from Eclipse/Mercurial/ Bitbucket to Intellij/Github and this has thrown up this problem.
