             Summary: MissingPropertyEx when accessing private static field in closure of same class
                 Key: GROOVY-11144
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11144
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: groovy-runtime
    Affects Versions: 4.0.13
         Environment: Windows 10, Groovy 4.0.13, Java 17.0.8
            Reporter: Andreas Turban
         Attachments: Test.groovy

When accessing a private static final field from a Closure within the same class Groovy 4 throws a MissingPropertyException. The code works in Groovy 2.5.22 & 3.0.18.

The real instance of the object needs to be a subtype of the class containing the constant.

See attached code to reproduce.

*Expected bahavior:*
The code runs without error

*Actual behavior:*
Groovy 4 throws:

{{groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: field for class: FirstEvent}}
{{    at BaseEvent$_init_closure1.doCall(Test.groovy:7)}}
{{    at BaseEvent.init(Test.groovy:7)}}
{{    at Test.run(Test.groovy:15)}}

*Notes:*
Interestingly if you remove the static keyword from {color:#0033b3}private static final {color}{color:#000000}String {color}{color:#871094}field {color}= {color:#067d17}"name"{color}
it fails in all three versions 2.5.22, 3.0.18 & 4.0.13 with a {{{}MissingPropertyException{}}}.
I would expect that the code should also work for these cases.

 

The problem came up in a discussion about a Spock issue [#1544|https://github.com/spockframework/spock/issues/1544].
