[jira] [Created] (GROOVY-10764) Static interface methods are not callable on implementing class

Tim Yates created GROOVY-10764:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Static interface methods are not callable on implementing class
                 Key: GROOVY-10764
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10764
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.0.5
            Reporter: Tim Yates


This is another issue that may be working as expected.  I searched, but couldn't find anything...

Given a Java interface:
{code:java}
public interface Interface {

    static void woo() {
        System.out.println("woo");
    }
} {code}
And a Java class which implements it
{code:java}
public class Concrete implements Interface {
} {code}
In Groovy 4.0.5, it is no longer possible to call the static method on the implementing class.  ie:

This groovy:
{code:java}
Concrete.woo() {code}
Throws
{code:java}
Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: static groovybug.Concrete.woo() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
Possible solutions: wait(), any(), wait(long), any(groovy.lang.Closure), is(java.lang.Object), tap(groovy.lang.Closure)
    at app//groovybug.Main.run(Main.groovy:6) {code}
Wheras in Groovy 3.x (and Java) it is valid.
