Description

For this code:

import java.lang.annotation.*
import groovy.transform.TupleConstructor

@Target([ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR, ElementType.PARAMETER])
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface MyAnno { }

@MyAnno
record Car(String make, @MyAnno String model) { }

assert !Car.getAnnotation(MyAnno)
assert Car.getMethod('model').getAnnotation(MyAnno)
assert Car.getConstructor(String, String).getAnnotation(MyAnno)
assert Car.getConstructor(String, String).getParameterAnnotations()[1][0].annotationType() == MyAnno

Groovy 4 on JDK17 currently fails with:

Annotation @MyAnno is not allowed on element RECORD_COMPONENT

So, the annotation is showing up where it shouldn't.
In addition, the annotation isn't showing up in other places where it should.
TL;DR: We have this working for some cases but not all.
