Summary: NPE when accessing protected method from subclass clone Key: GROOVY-8978 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8978 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.5.6 Reporter: paolo di tommaso I'm getting a NPE when running this snippet: {code} @groovy.transform.CompileStatic class LazyMap implements Map<String,Object> { @Delegate protected Map<String,Object> target LazyMap() { target = new HashMap<>() } } @groovy.transform.CompileStatic class TaskConfig extends LazyMap implements Cloneable { TaskConfig() { } TaskConfig clone() { def copy = (TaskConfig)super.clone() copy.target = new HashMap<>(this.target) return copy } } {code} The problem is that `this.target` in the clone method is evaluated to `null`. It works fine if the classes are not declared CompileStatic. It was also working fine with groovy version prior to 2.5.6. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
