Description

Boolean getters with "is" prefix can be accessed with property syntax:

class Foo {
  boolean isValid() { true }
}
new Foo().valid

However, this doesn't work for static properties:

class Bar {
  static boolean isValid() { true }
}
Bar.valid // groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: valid for class: Bar

Also doesn't work for DGM methods but perhaps not the same thing:

def d = new Date()
println d.getDateString() // 16/05/10
println d.dateString      // 16/05/10

def s = '1.1E2'
println s.isBigDecimal()  // true
println s.bigDecimal      // No such property: bigDecimal for class: java.lang.String
