Does this make sense to anyone? :confused:

Ah, trying to access the instance property from a static method. :see_no_evil:
The error message - or rather the suggested solution - still does not make sense though.

yeah, that could be improved
do you have a really quick reproducer?
I can probably make one up, just thought you might have something handy

Seems to be fixed in Groovy 5 already: <https://groovyconsole.dev/?g=groovy_4_0&amp;codez=eNpLzkksLlZwy89XqOZSUEhJTVNITy0BcjU0FaoV8kpzchRqgeLFJYklmckKSYlFYPFqhTSghlogu5arlisvtVwBrEMPLA8ALaQZGA>

```class Foo {
  def getFoo() { null }
  static bar() { { foo }() }
}
new Foo().bar()```

Or just
```class Foo {
  def getFoo() { null }
  static main(String... args) { { foo }() }
}```

It happened to me in Groovy 3 in a Gradle 8.14.3 test of a plugin written in Groovy
