compiler shows incorrect error for inner static on record

[robaho]

Code like:

public class X {
    public record SomeRecord() {
        public static final int SOMEVALUE = 1;
    }
}

is valid.

The compiler reports

Illegal modifier for parameter SOMEVALUE; only final is permitted Java(67109220)

The code compiles fine with javac.

@robaho I can't reproduce the issue. Could you try the latest VS Code Java 1.25.1 or Pre-Release?

[robaho]

I am running the pre-release v1.26.2023122208. The JDK is JavaSE-17.

I created the below file. It doesn't show an error. Select File->Save and the error appears:

import java.util.function.Predicate;

public class TestCompiler {
    public record MyRecord(int v) {
        public static final Predicate<Object> ALWAYS_TRUE_FILTER = w -> true;
    }
}

If I close the tab, then reopen, the error is gone. As soon as I use File->Save it will reappear.

I still can't reproduce the issue.
@robaho Could you create a simple project?

[robaho]

Btw, this is a gradle based project. I will try and create a simple project shortly.

I did some more investigation on this. I created a new project and saw the same error. After using 'clean workspace' the error went away and did not return.

I went back to my original project and did the same and the error disappeared and I could not make it happen again with the save.

So at this point I cannot reliably reproduce and there is a 'workaround/fix' to remove it, so you can close the issue. I am fairly certain there is a bug lurking though...
