Hi,

In groovy 4 i am able to do this:

I used to be able to do this:

@Override
void setProperty(String propertyName, Object newValue) {
     if (propertyName in columnNames) {
         putAt(propertyName, newValue)
     } else {
         super.setProperty(propertyName, newValue)
     }
}

The class is annotated with @CompileStatic
When compiling that with groovy 5 (Gradle 8.14.3,  JVM: 21.0.6) i get 
the following error:.../Row.groovy: 60: [Static type checking] - Default 
method setProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) requires 
qualified super @ line 60, column 13. super.setProperty(propertyName, 
newValue)

A possible workaround is to qualify the super reference:

@Override void setProperty(String propertyName, Object newValue) {
     if (propertyNamein columnNames) {
         putAt(propertyName, newValue)
     }else {
       GroovyObject.super.setProperty(propertyName, newValue)
     }
}

Is that the recommended way to refer to the DefaultGroovyMethods 
setProperty if i cannot use super directly in groovy 5 using static 
compilation?

Regards,

Per
