Paul King closed GROOVY-11621.
------------------------------
> Assigning null to a List or Map using bracket notation does not work with
> @CompileStatic
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: GROOVY-11621
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11621
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Static Type Checker
> Affects Versions: 4.0.26
> Reporter: Per Nyfelt
> Assignee: Eric Milles
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 5.0.0-beta-1, 3.0.25, 4.0.27

> I was recently experimenting with @CompileStatic for performance improvements
> and noticed that when using the short notation of putAt to assign a null
> value I get the following compilation error
> [Static type checking] - Cannot call <T>
> org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.DefaultGroovyMethods#putAt(java.util.List<T>,
> int, T) with arguments [java.util.List<java.lang.String>, int,
> java.lang.Object]
>
> Here is an example:
> {code:groovy}
> import groovy.transform.CompileStatic
> import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test
> @CompileStatic
> class PutAtTest {
> @Test
> void testList() {
> // These all work
> def list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
> list[0] = 'aa'
> assert list[0] == 'aa'
> list.set(2, null)
> assert list[2] == null
> list.putAt(0, null)
> assert list[0] == null
> // This Fails
> list[1] = null
> assert list[1] == null : "Short notation not working when assigning null"
> }
> @Test
> void testMap() {
> // These all work
> def map = [a: 'foo', b: 'bar', c: 'baz', d: 'qui']
> map['a'] = 'aa'
> assert map['a'] == 'aa'
> map.put('c', null)
> assert map['c'] == null
> map.putAt('a', null)
> assert map['a'] == null
> map.d = null
> assert map['d'] == null
> // This Fails
> map['b'] = null
> assert map['b'] == null : "Short notation not working when assigning
> null"
> }
> }
> {code}
> As pointed out by [~paulk] on the users list, a workaround is to cast e.g.
> {code:groovy}
> list[1] = (String)null
> map['b'] = (String)null
> {code}
> But it would be groovier if assigning null using short bracket notation "just
> worked". Also note that property notation for maps works (map.d = null) but
> fails with brackets (map['d'] = null) which is surprising from a user
> perspective as they are seen as alternative but equivalent ways to do the
> same thing.
