             Summary: Assignment of Map literal to Map element fails to compile 
(static)
                 Key: GROOVY-9603
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9603
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Static compilation, Static Type Checker
    Affects Versions: 3.0.4, 3.0.3
            Reporter: Jochen Eddelbuettel


Declare a Map<String,Object>. When trying to put a map literal into that map, 
assignments in property style (map.key = ...) and subscript style (map[key] = 
...) fail with

*[Static type checking] - No such property: ... for class: java.lang.Object*

First assigning to a local variable gives no such problems. If the Map were to 
contain objects of a specific type, coercion from map to that particular type 
would make sense. This coercion from Map to Object makes to sense. A Map is an 
Object and should simply become the new value for that particular key, which is 
just what is happening with regular compilation.

Same for Map<String,?> and Map<String,? extends Object

{code:groovy}
@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
def updateMap(Map<String,Object> map) {
    def innerMap = [ foo: "bar", bar: "foo" ]
    // No problem on this assignment
    map.someProp = innerMap
    assert map.someProp["foo"] == "bar"
    // The next three lines should all be equivalent
    // but the 2nd and 3rd don't CompileStatic
    map.put("someProp", [ abc: "efg" ])
    map["someProp"] = [ abc: "hij" ]
    map.someProp = [ abc: "klm" ]
    assert map.someProp["abc"] == "klm"
}
{code}
