Eric Milles edited comment on GROOVY-10055 at 4/27/21, 3:11 PM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- You are using {{PostgreSQLContainer}} as a raw type, so there is no explicit argument assigned to the {{SELF}} type parameter. Looks like the "fully-resolve" code (aka {{StaticTypeCheckingVisitor#inferReturnTypeGenerics}}) that tries to get a concrete type to work with is getting Object in the current codebase. If each of the "with" methods are returning "this" and not a new instance, your grooviest workaround would be: {code:groovy} def postgreSqlServer = new PostgreSQLContainer().tap { withExposedPorts(5432) withEnv(["TZ": "Europe/Paris"]) withDatabaseName("my_database") withUsername("user") withPassword("pass") } {code} was (Author: emilles): You are using {{PostgreSQLContainer}} as a raw type, so there is no explicit argument assigned to the {{SELF}} type parameter.
