wrong error message?
I'm calling a Java library (Poi) from Groovy. I get a "no such method"
error that says to me that I am passing two arguments, but I am really
passing three. My code is
int i -> sheet.copyRows([sourceRow], i, new CellCopyPolicy())
and the error message is
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFSheet.copyRows(Ljava/util/List;ILorg/apache/poi/ss/usermodel/CellCopyPolicy;)V
The way I read it, I am giving copyRows two arguments, a List and a
CellCopyPolicy. It didn't seem to see the integer that was the second
argument.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? I can give more context, but it is
just as likely to confuse as to illuminate.

Hi,
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError is an error from the JVM. In Java it is
thrown if the class you compiled against has changed and the old target
of the method call no longer exists.
Groovy does not know about any @Beta annotation by default. Did the
error happen with static compilation? Because with dynamic Groovy it is
almost impossible to have this error... unless of course, the error is a
faulty internal non-dynamic code.
A trace to see what code actually made the method call should shed light
on the issue. I still thin the classpath was the problem. You changing
the source surely made you do a classpath change as well. It is very
possible, that you "shadowed" the offending poi jar with that.

Thanks for the advice on reading error messages.
I am using the trunk of Poi, so it is the latest. I rechecked the
classpath and that wasn't the problem. The problem turned out to be that
the methods were annotated with @Beta, and that must have confused Groovy
in some way. Perhaps the annotation changes the method name so that
Groovy's method lookup can't find it. In any case, since I had source, I
got rid of the annotation and then my program could find the method.
The Beta annotation was developed by Google, but it appears that other
projects are using it, so it would be unfortunate if Groovy had trouble
with Java code that used the Beta annotation.

It’s in there. For the primitive types, there’s no semi-colon at the end. For example void f(int, int, int) has signature f(III)V. With the L (object) type, it’s L<class>; with semi-colon at end. You can see L*;IL*; in there. That I before the second L is the int argument you are looking for.
As for why you get no such method error, I don’t know. I use POI in my project and the version of POI that I have does not have this method at all. On the website https://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/XSSFSheet.html#copyRows%28java.util.List,%20int,%20org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.CellCopyPolicy%29, it does has a signature you are trying to call.
If you think your POI is new enough to have that method, a common issue I’ve seen in cases like this is that accidentially multiple versions of a library (POI in this case) are on the classpath at the same time and you’re really loading an older version than you think.
