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

             Summary: map to interface coercion
                 Key: GROOVY-8530
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8530
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Question
    Affects Versions: 2.5.0-beta-3
            Reporter: Remko Popma


As part of GROOVY-8520, I'm trying to implement the 
{{CliBuilder.parseFromSpec(Class, String[])}} method. The implementation of 
this method populates a Map with data from the command line, and returns this 
map, coerced to the specified interface type.

This should work, but the {{CliBuilderTest.testParseFromSpec}} and 
{{testParseFromInstanceFlagEdgeCases}}  tests fail with an error:
{code}
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: 
java.util.LinkedHashMap.first() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
Possible solutions: print(java.lang.Object), print(java.io.PrintWriter), 
find(), sort(), is(java.lang.Object), find(groovy.lang.Closure)
{code}

Here is a minimal class that reproduces the issue:
{code}
class CoercionTest extends GroovyTestCase {

    void testCoercion() {
        def spec = parseFromSpec(MySpec, [])
        assert spec.foo() == 'firstval'
    }

    interface MySpec {
        String foo();
    }

    public <T> T parseFromSpec(Class<T> optionsClass, args) {
        def cliOptions = [:]
        cliOptions['foo'] = 'firstval'
        cliOptions as T
    }
}
{code}

This gives:
{code}
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: 
java.util.LinkedHashMap.foo() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
Possible solutions: sort(), any(), find(), get(java.lang.Object), 
get(java.lang.Object), get(java.lang.Object)

I'm probably doing something wrong, but can't figure out what... Any hints?
