Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-9292: ------------------------------------- Oh, that's interesting. Adding a "this." qualifier works within and across packages. However adding "owner." or "thisObject." only works within the same package. I wonder if there is a package check in or down the line from StaticTypeCheckingVisitor that is testing the "receiver" and not the "sender" or vice versa. > Compilation error when accessing a protected super class field from a closure > using owner, delegate or thisObject qualifier (different package) > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-9292 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9292 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Static compilation > Affects Versions: 2.5.8, 3.0.0-rc-1 > Reporter: Daniel Sun > Assignee: Daniel Sun > Priority: Major > > Compilation fails when accessing a protected(via `thisObject`, `owner` and > `delegate`)/package-private super class field from inside a closure: > {code:java} > new GroovyShell().with { > evaluate ''' > package a > > abstract class Abstract { > protected String protectedField = 'field' > } > assert true > ''' > evaluate ''' > package b > > @groovy.transform.CompileStatic > class Concrete extends a.Abstract { > String doThing() { > 'something'.with { > return owner.protectedField // `thisObject.protectedField`, > `delegate.protectedField` fails too > } > } > } > assert true > ''' > evaluate 'assert new b.Concrete().doThing() == "field"' > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
