• Type: Bug

Description

May or may not be a bug, to be decided.
Also see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-6802

To reproduce:

import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

@CompileStatic
class Foo {
  def static main(String[] args) {
    String b = ["foo"]
    assert b == "[foo]"
  }
}

Assumption: This should succeed, List probably should be coerced into String via toString() as is done without @CompileStatic.
