Groovy - static import gets 'get' prefix

Answered

Created November 08, 2018 10:16

I am writing a test class.

With the static constant 'SOME_IMPORT'
Then I look at suggestions

and add import on demand:

In out code style we do not allow dynamic inports, we use single imports, so I do cmd+alt+L.
But then I get as an import:

Where does the get come from? I always have to manually remove the get, so that is a bit annoying.

Our code-style looks like this:

Can anybody help there? Is there a setting we can add to not have this 'get' prefix?

Many thanks

Does it help if you add "public" modifier to SOME_IMPORT?

Petr Rastegaev, very interesting, it indeed does.

Do you have an explanation for this behaviour?

Can anybody explain this behaviour? Will this bug be fixed soon? It is weird that we either would have to use public although it is not a best practice of that language, or remove the 'get' everywhere by hand......

See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-131947 .

If you define a constant value as static final Groovy will generate a getter method so the constant value is a read only property according to the Java Beans specification.

Many thanks, I linked that issue to this question now as well :)
