Saravanan commented on GROOVY-11616:
------------------------------------
This code fails with the snapshot 20250515.174741-1495. I am not sure if this
change got checked in before or after that snapshot was generated.
I am compiling this with @CompileStatic and I am not assigning it to any
variables/returning etc.
{code:java}
Arrays.asList(
new ArrayList<String>(),
new ArrayList<Long>(),
new ArrayList<Double>()
);
{code}
The error I see is
{noformat}
Cannot call <T> java.util.Arrays#asList(T[]) with arguments
[java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.String>, java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.Long>,
java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.Double>]
@ line 84, column 9.
Arrays.asList(new ArrayList<String>(), new ArrayList<Long>(), new
ArrayList<Double>());
^{noformat}
> Functions that take var args will default the type of the first argument,
> java tries to find the common parent type from all arguments

> Arrays.asList takes a vararg parameter. Groovy defaults to assuming that the
> first parameter type is the type (or parent type) for all parameters that
> follow. If we use instances of multiple derived types, Groovy errors out
> without trying to find the common parent type
