--------------------------------------

             Summary: inner class cannot set property of enclosing class that 
has a getter without a setter
                 Key: GROOVY-11199
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11199
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Static compilation
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0-alpha-2, 5.0.0-alpha-1
            Reporter: Jason Garrett


With static compilation, an inner class cannot set the value of a property of 
its enclosing class if that property has a getter but does not have a setter.
{code:java}
import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

@CompileStatic  // compiles without this
class GetterOnly {
    String theString = ""

    String getTheString() {
       return theString
    }

    class InnerClass {
       void doStuff() {
          theString = "here!"  // [Static type checking] - Cannot set read-only 
property: theString
       }
    }
} {code}
This example fails to compile with:  [Static type checking] - Cannot set 
read-only property: theString
