Hi, I've encountered a strange compile error with the getAt method and the @CompileStatic annotation. Below some scripts to reproduce the error with the GroovyConsole:
import groovy.transform.CompileStatic @CompileStatic class Pippo { int getAt(String pluto) { return 1 } int plus(String paperino) { return 1 } } @CompileStatic public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { def pippo = new Pippo() int i = pippo['a'] // [Static type checking] - Cannot assign value of type java.lang.Object to variable of type int //int i = pippo.getAt('a') // Works //int i = pippo + 'a' // Works } } Demo.main() At first I thought of some general issue with operator overloading but the plus method does not seem to be affected (last commented line above). Morevover, my actual code involves generics and in this case new errors came up even with the cast: import groovy.transform.CompileStatic @CompileStatic class Pippo<K,V> { V paperino V getAt(K pluto) { return paperino } } @CompileStatic public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { Pippo<String, Integer> pippo = new Pippo<>() pippo.paperino = 313 int i = (int) pippo['a'] // groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: a for class: Pippo // int i = pippo.getAt('a') // works println i } } Demo.main() If the two generic types are the same (ex. both Integer): BUG! exception in phase 'class generation' in source unit 'ConsoleScript0' At line 12 column 23 On receiver: pippo with message: getAt and arguments: 1 This method should not have been called. Please try to create a simple example reproducing this error and filea bug report at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY import groovy.transform.CompileStatic @CompileStatic class Pippo<K,V> { V paperino V getAt(K pluto) { return paperino } } @CompileStatic public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { Pippo<Integer, Integer> pippo = new Pippo<>() pippo.paperino = 313 int i = (int) pippo[1] // groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: a for class: Pippo // int i = pippo.getAt('a') // works println i } } Demo.main() Is there some known issue about getAt and CompileStatic or simply I misunderstood its use? Thanks, M
