Description

@CompileStatic
class Outer {
  def foo = 1
  Inner createInner() { new Inner() }
  class Inner {}
}

@CompileStatic  // works without @CompileStatic
class Main {
  static void main(String[] args) {
    def i = new Outer().createInner()
    println i.foo // [Static type checking] - No such property: foo for class: Outer$Inner
  }
}

I think should work in both static and dynamic contexts or fail in both.
Please close this issue if this is by design.
