Description

import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

@CompileStatic
trait Foo {
    static void go() {
    }
}

@CompileStatic
trait Bar extends Foo {
    void doIt() {
        go()
    }
}

The above code will produce the following:

[Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method Bar#go(). Please check if the declared type is right and if the method exists.
