---------------------------------------

             Summary: Can't assign a field with the result of a method call of the same name from a base class
                 Key: GROOVY-9982
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9982
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.7
            Reporter: Benedikt Ritter
         Attachments: test.groovy

Having a method in a base class and using that method in an assignment in an inheriting class to assign a field of the same name as that method causes a NullPointerException.

Try executing the attached script with Groovy 3.0.7. It will yield:
{code:java}
❯ groovy test.groovy
Caught: java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at Child.setup(test.groovy:11)
	at Child$setup.call(Unknown Source)
	at test.run(test.groovy:16)
	at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
	at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62)
	at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)
