Description

The following code works on Java11 but breaks on Java17

 

import groovy.transform.AutoClone
@AutoClone
class Foo {
    File file
    String string
}
def foo = new Foo(file: new File('bar'), string: 'qux')
foo.clone()

The error is

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.lang.Object.clone() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
Possible solutions: collect(), collect(groovy.lang.Closure), collect(java.util.Collection, groovy.lang.Closure), find(), any(), use([Ljava.lang.Object;)

This can be reproduced in GroovyConsole
