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

             Summary: STC rejects a closure or lambda returning a Closure<R> 
value where a functional interface return type is expected
                 Key: GROOVY-12606
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12606
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 5.0.8, 4.0.33, 6.0.0
            Reporter: Scott Murphy Heiberg


{code:groovy}
import java.util.function.Supplier

@groovy.transform.CompileStatic // or @TypeChecked
class C {
    static String take(Supplier<Supplier<String>> s) { s.get().get() }
    static void main(args) {
        Closure<String> c = { 'x' }
        assert take { c } == 'x'
        assert take(() -> c) == 'x'
    }
}
{code}
Actual:
{noformat}
[Static type checking] - Cannot return value of type 
groovy.lang.Closure<java.lang.String> for closure expecting 
java.util.function.Supplier<java.lang.String>
[Static type checking] - Cannot return value of type 
groovy.lang.Closure<java.lang.String> for lambda expecting 
java.util.function.Supplier<java.lang.String>
{noformat}
Expected: both calls compile and the returned closure is converted to the 
functional interface, as it is when a Closure value is passed as a Supplier 
argument. A Closure<Integer> should still be rejected.

The return check for closures and lambdas only accepts subtypes of the expected 
return type and does not consider closure-to-SAM coercion. A returned closure 
literal and a raw Closure are rejected the same way. Under static compilation, 
a lambda also needs its generated method to declare the SAM type, so that the 
returned closure is converted instead of being returned as a Closure.

Seen in 4.0.33, 5.0.8 and 6.0.0.
