The missing info from your description for me is how treeView is declared.  
When I ensure that treeView is an instance of TreeView<Path>, the checks work 
out fine.


interface Callback<P,R> {
 R call(P param)
}
class TreeCell<T> {
}
class TreeView<T> {
 void setCellFactory(Callback<TreeView<T>,TreeCell<T>> value) {
 }
}
class Path { }
class PathTreeCell extends TreeCell<Path> { }

@groovy.transform.TypeChecked test() {
 def treeView = new TreeView<Path>() // not TreeView or TreeView<?>
 treeView.setCellFactory({ /*TreeView<Path>*/ p ->
   def treeCell = new PathTreeCell()
   return treeCell
 })
}

Micro,
Please create a new bug report at issues.apache.org and I will have a look at 
what changed.

Subject: [EXT] Static type checking error from groovy version 4.0.22

External Email: Use caution with links and attachments.

Hello,
recently I've updated the groovy version of my project (STC with 
compiler-configuration) from 4.0.21 to 4.0.24 and in the process I've 
encountered the following unexpected error:
[Static type checking] - Cannot return value of type ...PathTreeCell for 
closure expecting javafx.scene.control.TreeCell<java.lang.Object>
(after further investigation it seems introduced from v4.0.22)

The error came up calling this method of the JavaFx TreeView (with a closure)
https://openjfx.io/javadoc/21/javafx.controls/javafx/scene/control/TreeView.html#setCellFactory(javafx.util.Callback)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://openjfx.io/javadoc/21/javafx.controls/javafx/scene/control/TreeView.html*setCellFactory(javafx.util.Callback)__;Iw!!GFN0sa3rsbfR8OLyAw!bhkxAtKCcCoBP6_yq_UXSTJtpdyaaP3fx207yBuyP6IrCOCFSCZBuachWG4pzvoKw3JK31poWMrMii3T5yhIza0$>
public final void setCellFactory(Callback<TreeView<T>,TreeCell<T>> value)

My code:
public class PathTreeCell extends TreeCell<Path> { … }
...
treeView.setCellFactory({ p ->
                var treeCell = new PathTreeCell(this)
                makeDraggable(treeCell)
                // This doesn't work anymore
                //  return treeCell
                return (TreeCell<Path>)treeCell // OK
            })

This portion of code has always worked for every version of groovy STC I've 
used up until now.
As above, the workaround is effortless, just an explicit cast to TreeCell<Path>
Nevertheless I'm worried that it could be some sort of side effect of a 
regression.

Is this an intentional change of behaviour or a bug?

Cheers,
Mirco
