--------------------------------------
Summary: STC with category classes or at least consistent error
Key: GROOVY-12293
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12293
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Björn Kautler
If you use a category like `use(...) { ... }` the STC throws a compile error,
that usage of categories is not possible with STC due to their dynamic nature.
It would be nice if this limitation could be lifted. Why can't the category
method not be resolved like other methods and under static compilation used
directly?
I probably miss something why this is not possible, but maybe then at least a
consistent error could somehow be issued. If I have a Spock specification under
STC (there is a PR to make this possible and I ported it to an AST transform
that also makes it possible) and there have a `@Use(...)` annotation, then the
compile error just says that the method is not found while expectation was that
it was resolved from the category.
