[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-6862) Traits dont allow $ in identifiers where normal classes do

["Gyula Varga (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Gyula Varga commented on GROOVY-6862:
-------------------------------------

Any news on this one? 
Since this is really a blocker for us, we will have to change many method names if this is not getting fixed. (We are using the $ sign for reflection magic)

> looks like traits are stricter than the "normal" groovy when an identifier happens to contain the dollar sign:
> {code}
> 252 /tmp> <q.groovy
> trait Test {
>  static foo_ok() { println 'trait non-$ OK' }
>  static foo$oops() { println 'trait $ OK' }
> }
> class Foo implements Test {
>  static foo$ok() { println 'class $ OK' }
> }
> Foo.foo$ok()
> Foo.foo_ok()
> Foo.foo$oops()
> 253 /tmp> groovy q
> class $ OK
> trait non-$ OK
> Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: static Foo.foo$oops() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
> Possible solutions: foo$ok(), foo_ok()
> ...
> {code}
