Phaninra updated GROOVY-10472:
------------------------------
    Description: 
{code:java}
@AutoImplement{code}
 is failing when (Java) covariant returns are involved. 

 

Copy the following into GroovyConsole and hit run to reproduce the error.
{code:java}
import groovy.transform.*@CompileStatic

interface Super {
    Iterable findAll()
}

@CompileStatic
interface Sub extends Super {
    List findAll() // a List instead of an Iterable
}

@AutoImplement
@CompileStatic
class ThisClassFails implements Sub, Super {} {code}
 

Error will look like 
{code:java}
1 compilation error:

The return type of java.lang.Iterable findAll() in ThisClassFails is 
incompatible with java.util.List in Sub
. At [14:1]  at line: 14, column: 1 {code}
 

Refs:
 - Real life example: 
[https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/jpa/repository/JpaRepository.html]
 Look at all variations of `findAll` methods in that interface and super - some 
use Iterable and some use List.
