Isaac Dooley updated GROOVY-8327:
---------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 3.0.0-alpha-3
> Parser regression. Can't access static instance method before class is
> constructed
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8327
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8327
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0-alpha-1, 3.0.0-alpha-3, 2.5.2
> Environment: groovc command line on linux
> Reporter: Isaac Dooley
> Priority: Major
>
> The parser in 2.6.0-alpha-1 gives a MultipleCompilationErrorsException on
> code that compiled successfully in 2.4.12.
> {code:title=Code that fails to compile on 2.6.0-alpha-1}
> class A {
> static String g() { }
> A() {
> this({g()}) // It is ok to create a closure that calls g() in a
> constructor, but not if it is being passed into this().
> }
> A(a) { }
> }
> {code}
> {code:title=compilation error message}
> $ groovyc test.groovy
> org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup
> failed:
> test.groovy: 4: Can't access instance method 'g' before the class is
> constructed
> @ line 4, column 15.
> this({g()}) // It is ok to create a closure that calls g() in a
> constructor, but not if it is being passed into this().
> ^
> 1 error
> {code}
> My opinion is that groovy should allow users to call a static method inside a
> constructor before the instance has been fully constructed, but I'm not aware
> of the details of why this is disallowed in 2.6.0-alpha-1.
