Paul, thanks for the explanation!
In my particular case I can do with protected or even public; it's just that the documentation quite explicitly says “You could have the annotated method/constructor private for instance but have the generated one be public” (https://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/gapi/groovy/transform/NamedVariant.html), so I've tried that. I guess in this case, the code's all right, and it's the documentation what needs a small fix :) Thanks a lot, OC > On 28. 1. 2025, at 12:11, Paul King <pa...@asert.com.au> wrote: > > It is more a case of the AST transforms running into a Groovy feature. > Groovy doesn't let you compile this class: > > class Foo { > private foo() {} > public foo(String s) {} > } > > It might seem strange but it has been that way for a long time. > > Can you change "makeSense" to protected? > > Paul. > > On Tue, Jan 28, 2025 at 5:53 PM OCsite <o...@ocs.cz> wrote: >> >> Hi there, >> >> do I make some mistake not understanding properly those two ASTTs, or is >> this a Groovy bug? >> >> Thanks! >> OC >> >> === >> >> 975 ocs /tmp> <nv.groovy >> >> import groovy.transform.* >> >> import groovy.transform.options.* >> >> class Test { >> >> @NamedVariant @VisibilityOptions(Visibility.PUBLIC) private makeSense(int >> dollars, int cents) { >> >> "d:$dollars c:$cents" >> >> } >> >> } >> >> def t=new Test() >> >> println t.makeSense(dollars: 2, cents: 50) >> >> 976 ocs /tmp> /usr/local/groovy-4.0.24/bin/groovy nv >> >> org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup >> failed: >> >> /private/tmp/nv.groovy: 4: Mixing private and public/protected methods of >> the same name causes multimethods to be disabled and is forbidden to avoid >> surprising behaviour.
