> Splitting off problematic but critical case of resolving static nested and
> inner classes in external groovy files from GROOVY-4267. Copying Roshan's
> example from that issue:
> {code:title=Test.groovy}
> import static Outer.*
> // import static Outer.Inner // also fails
> // import Outer.Inner // also fails
> assert Inner.class.name != null
> {code}
> {code:title=Outer.groovy}
> class Outer {
> static class Inner {}
> }
> {code}
> Output:
> {noformat}
> Caught: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: Inner for
> class: Test
> at Test.run(Test.groovy:4)
> {noformat}
> Error message is slightly different for non-static import:
> {noformat}
> org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup
> failed:
> Test.groovy: 2: unable to resolve class Outer.Inner
> @ line 2, column 1.
> import Outer.Inner
> ^
> 1 error
> {noformat}
