MissingMethodException when accessing fields without explicit `@`
Describe the bug
In order write this Stack Overflow answer, I implemented a test demonstrating data pipes. It works nicely on Spock 1.3. Then I copied it into GWC, and it started failing, complaining about missing getters in lines using field access. Then same happens locally in the latest Spock version:
event.id > 0

To Reproduce
This GWC example works. Now simply remove the @ characters.
// '.id' and '.name' should be enough, but on Spock 2.1 there is a problem
// when not explicitly using the '@' notation for direct field access.
event.@id > 0

Expected behavior
The test passes without the .@id field access notation under Spock 2.x, just like under 1.3.
Actual behavior
Spock complains about missing getters.

Additional context

Looking at the example code, I see that the fields are protected. If you make them public, it works without the .@field access.
https://groovy-lang.org/objectorientation.html#properties
You can define a property with:
- an absent access modifier (no
public,protectedorprivate)
