Description

I have a problem with methods that have dots in their name. Here's a code example

 

class SomeList {

    SomeList(String field) {
    }

    static SomeList "Regular name of method"() {
        println("regular method")
    }

    static SomeList "Name with.dot"() {
        println("method with dot")
    }
}

and i have test for it which cause compilation error:

 

 

class SomeListTests {

    @Test
    def "some list test"() {
        //given
        SomeList list = new SomeList()

        //when
        list."Regular name of method"()

        //then
        //compilation error
    }
}

Even if i run it in IDEA or with ./gradlew test it crashes with error:

 

 

Error:Groovyc: While compiling tests of example-project_test: BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit '/home/alex/Projects/example-project/src/test/groovy/SomeListTests.groovy' Problem loading class SomeList
at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.applyToSourceUnits(CompilationUnit.java:970)
... and so on i can drop all at comments

BUT if i run Groovy script like this:

 

Script:

 

SomeList."Regular name of method"()
SomeList."Name with.dot"()

Run:

 

 

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GroovyShell shell = new GroovyShell()
        shell.run(new File("""pathToFile/Script.groovy"""), Collections.emptyList())
        println "Everything is cool"
    }
}

I have everything perfect:

 

regular method
method with dot
Everything is cool
