Description

Splitting off problematic but critical case of resolving static nested and inner classes in external groovy files from GROOVY-4267. Copying Roshan's example from that issue:

Test.groovy
import static Outer.*
// import static Outer.Inner // also fails
// import Outer.Inner        // also fails

assert Inner.class.name != null
Outer.groovy
class Outer {
    static class Inner {}
}

Output:

Caught: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: Inner for class: Test
        at Test.run(Test.groovy:4)

Error message is slightly different for non-static import:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Test.groovy: 2: unable to resolve class Outer.Inner
 @ line 2, column 1.
   import Outer.Inner
   ^
1 error
