             Summary: NullPointerException in TypeResolver when using generic array return type
                 Key: GROOVY-8313
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8313
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Eric Milles


I think this is related to GROOVY-6899.  I've been trying to isolate this for some time now: https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/issues/174.  When using a generic array type as a return value, the bridge method is written improperly.

{code}
public interface MultiIndexed<PK, SK> {
  PK getPrimaryKey();
  SK[] getSecondaryKeys();
}

class MIData implements MultiIndexed<Integer, String> {
  final String value
  final Integer primaryKey
  final String[] secondaryKeys

  MIData(String val, Integer pk, String... sk) {
    this.value = val
    this.primaryKey = pk
    this.secondaryKeys = sk
  }
}
{code}

javap on MiData.class shows {{public final SK[] getSecondaryKeys();}}.  The equivalent Java class shows a different signature for the bridge method: {{public java.lang.Object[] getSecondaryKeys();}}.

This causes an NPE under Introspector when bean info is trying to be resolved.
{code}

class Main {
  static void main(String[] args) {
    def data = new MIData('V', 1, 'B')
    print 'no error'
  }
}
{code}


I think this can be fixed in {{Verifier.getCovariantImplementation}}, like this:
{code}
        // if we reach this point we have at least one parameter or return type, that
        // is different in its specified form. That means we have to create a bridge method!
        MethodNode newMethod = new MethodNode(
                oldMethod.getName(),
                overridingMethod.getModifiers() | ACC_SYNTHETIC | ACC_BRIDGE,
                // GRECLIPSE edit
                //oldMethod.getReturnType().getPlainNodeReference(),
                GenericsUtils.nonGeneric(oldMethod.getReturnType()),
                // GRECLIPSE end
                cleanParameters(oldMethod.getParameters()),
                oldMethod.getExceptions(),
                null
        );
{code}
