ok, after looking into this I found the reason... at the point the ResolveVisitor finds the static import the class is not yet parsed. Which means finding the static method must be done at a later step than it is currently done.

I splitted ResolveVisitor inot the normal resolving process and a StaticImportVisitor that is doing only static imports. The new class works after ResolveVisitor was run and should then no longer have a problem with not yet parsed classes.

I'm using snapshot build 447 and this still isn't working for me:

[nvw384@ma34jasper sandbox]$ groovy -version
Groovy Version: 1.1-beta-2 JVM: 1.5.0_11-b03
[nvw384@ma34jasper sandbox]$

nvw384@ma34jasper sandbox]$ echo $GROOVY_HOME
/opt/groovy-1.1-beta-3-SNAPSHOT
[nvw384@ma34jasper sandbox]$ groovy test1/mytest.groovy
Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: test1.mytest.printMe() is applicable for argument types: () values: {}
at test1.mytest.run(mytest.groovy:5)
at test1.mytest.main(mytest.groovy)

[nvw384@ma34jasper sandbox]$ less test1/mytest.groovy
package test1

import static test1.test2.Utils.*

printMe();

[nvw384@ma34jasper sandbox]$ less test1/test2/Utils.groovy
package test1.test2

class Utils {
def static printMe () { println "hi" }
}

I did a quick jad of code generated using groovyc. For this code:

import static java.lang.Math.*
println cos(2*PI)

beta-2 generates:

...
            ScriptBytecodeAdapter.invokeStaticMethodN(class1, java.lang.Math.class, "cos", new Object[] {
                ScriptBytecodeAdapter.invokeMethodN(class1, new Integer(2), "multiply", new Object[] {
                    ScriptBytecodeAdapter.getProperty(class1, java.lang.Math.class, "PI")
                })
            })
...

beta-3-SNAPSHOT generates:

...
            ScriptBytecodeAdapter.invokeMethodOnCurrentN(class1, (GroovyObject)ScriptBytecodeAdapter.castToType(this, groovy.lang.GroovyObject.class), "cos", new Object[] {
                ScriptBytecodeAdapter.invokeMethodN(class1, new Integer(2), "multiply", new Object[] {
                    ScriptBytecodeAdapter.getGroovyObjectProperty(class1, this, "PI")
                })
            })
...

The static import visitor seems to be doing the right thing but that isn't reflected in the generated code.

Can you try again with HEAD. GROOVY-2031 may have fixed this case also.

I'd like to close this issue. Is it still causing you a problem with beta-3? It works for me here.

If you can't reproduce it with beta-3, you can close it.

Thanks for the nudge. Sorry, I've been so busy. Using the same example code listed in my previous comment, I can see that this is fixed. And.....THANK YOU.
