compileTestGroovy returning COMPARABLE_TYPE error with @CompileStatic

Old Forum

I’m seeing a not very useful error from Gradle, I just need to understand why. I’m adding Groovy tests to a Java project. The test compiles without using @CompileStatic. When i add the @CompileStatic it errors, why?

  Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: COMPARABLE_TYPE

at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.compile.ApiGroovyCompiler.execute(ApiGroovyCompiler.java:118)

at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.compile.ApiGroovyCompiler.execute(ApiGroovyCompiler.java:39)

My config is fairly basic: 

  apply plugin: ‘groovy’

dependencies {


testCompile “org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.1.6”  }

Any help would be much appreciated

We’d need to see the full stack trace (’-S’) and the code that you are trying to compile (ideally a self-contained reproducible example).

There’s not much to the test class. The class is annotated with a @CompileStatic annotation. It compiles and runs fine in STS.

Looks like the Groovy compiler is blowing up with ‘java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: COMPARABLE_TYPE’. However, I don’t understand why parts of the stack trace are missing. Can you confirm that you ran with ‘–full-stacktrace’?

STS is hard to compare because it uses a forked version of the Groovy compiler.

Hi, i ran --full-strackrace and updated the gist. Any ideas?

Not sure what’s going on there. Maybe you effectively have multiple Groovy versions on the test compile class path? A self-contained reproducible example would be appreciated.

You were right, it looks like I had another version of Groovy in the classpath.

So my JUnit test now attempts to compile statically. Unfortunately GROOVY-6155 is blocking me making progress.

This bug is marked as fixed in Groovy 2.1.7/2.2.0-beta-2, which are scheduled to be released tomorrow.
