-----------------------------------
Summary: Direct field access fails for superclass fields
Key: GROOVY-8167
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8167
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Eric Milles
About half the time I need to quickly fill in a private field for a test or a
bit of prototype code, I end up having to bust out Apache Commons Lang's
{{FieldUtils}}, because the Groovy direct field access operator {{.@}} does not
allow access to fields in a super type. The operator is very handy in
preventing use of reflection code, but its potential is not fully realized.
Here is a example:
{code}
class A { private String one }
class B extends A { private String two }
B b = new B()
b.@two = '' // works as expected
b.@one = '' // fails with MissingFieldException: No such field: one for class: B
{code}
