I'm upgrading a project from Groovy 2.4.19 to 3.0.5 with 100s of classes almost
all @CompileStatic code on JDK 8. Upon upgrading I get compiler errors about
static type checker knowing or not knowing anymore of objects, which is par for
the course for any Groovy upgrade. But most of the errors I get are this:
Closure parameter with resolve strategy OWNER_FIRST passed to method with
resolve strategy DELEGATE_FIRST
The pattern that I am using is having a method that takes a Closure, and passes
it to Object.with:
void run(@DelegatesTo(X) Closure closure) {
println "I'm running!"
something.with(closure)
}
run { println prop }
So I know what OWNER_FIRST and DELEGATE_FIRST mean. And I see that the default
in @DelegatesTo (or no annotation presumably) is OWNER_FIRST, and with clones
the closure and sets its resolve strategy to DELEGATE_FIRST.
I can't find documentation on this message. Does the message being an error
imply that the resolve strategy on a closure is "baked in" in CompileStatic?
Did that change since 2.4? What is the best practice solution?
Other notes:
1. I build with IDEA and the default 700mb heap was not enough to build, I
needed 5GB heap to build without OutOfMemoryError is that expected?
2. I'm trying to upgrade from 2.4.19 because I encountered a bug in static
compile, in an expression x.value = someEnum, there is x.setValue(boolean) and
x.setValue(String). 90% of the time the static compiler picks the
setValue(String) for all such call sites in a build, 10% of the time it picks
setValue(boolean) for all such call sites. I didn't receive any compiler errors
on that expression as I'd expect it to be ambiguous (or at least pick same each
time), is that expected to fail compile in Groovy 3?
Thanks,
