Description

@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
@groovy.util.logging.Slf4j
class Foo {
  static class Bar {
    void method() {
      log.info('some info')
    }
  }
}

new Foo.Bar().method()

produces the compilation error

[Static type checking] - The variable [log] is undeclared.
 at line: 6, column: 7

But works perfectly fine without the @CompileStatic. Additionally, the inner class can be either static or non-static and the same compilation error occurs.
