>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7753
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Static compilation, Static Type Checker
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.6
>            Reporter: Jason Winnebeck
>
> In Groovy 2.4.5 the following code works, but in Groovy 2.4.6, it fails to compile:
> {code}
> @groovy.transform.Field
> String x = "X"
> @groovy.transform.CompileStatic
> public List<String> getStrings() {
> 	x ? [x] : Collections.emptyList()
> }
> getStrings()
> {code}
> In Groovy 2.4.6 the compile error is:
> {code}
> [Static type checking] - Incompatible generic argument types. Cannot assign java.util.List <? extends java.lang.Object> to: java.util.List <String>
>  @ line 6, column 2.
>     x ? [x] : Collections.emptyList()
>     ^
> {code}
> Workaround is to cast the result of emptyList to the erased type, (List) in this case.
