Summary: Cannot set protected field from subclass Key: GROOVY-9127 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9127 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.5.6 Reporter: paolo di tommaso Consider the following code {code} @CompileStatic abstract class Foo { protected String field1 String getField1() { field1 } } @CompileStatic class Bar extends Foo { void changeField1() { this.field1 = 'foo' } @Override String getField1() { return 'bar command' } } {code} It fails to compile with the following error message: {code} [Static type checking] - Cannot set read-only property: field1 @ line 29, column 9. this.field1 = 'foo' ^ {code} Which does not make much sense to me because protected field should be accessible to subclasses by definition. Tested also with 2.5.8-SNAPSHOT reporting the same issue. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
