Description

Assume you have a class test.Foo:

package test

class Foo {
  static foo() {'foo'}
}

Let's consider some code snippets. IMHO Groovy incorrectly resolves reference 'foo' to statically imported method in all of these cases.

 
import static test.Foo.foo

class Bar {
  def foo() {'bar'}

  class Inner {
    def abc() {
      assert foo() == 'bar' //statically imported method will be invoked here
    }
  }

}

 
import static test.Foo.foo

class Bar {
  def foo() {'bar'}
}

new Bar().with {
  assert foo() == 'bar' //statically imported method will be executed
}

 
import static test.Foo.foo

class Base {
  def foo(){'base'}
}

class Bar extends Base {
  def abc() {
    assert foo() == 'base' //statically imported method will be executed 
  }
}
