geb.page content module cannot be resolved - groovy

Question

Hi i tried to do a NavigationModule to acces to my content in geb.page, but when i want to instance from this navigation 'module' cannot be resolved by intellij
class NavigationModule extends Module{
static content = {
homeLink { $("a", title:"Home") }
contactLink { $("a", title:"Contact Us") }
}
}
class HomePage extends Page{
static url = "http://www.websitetest.com"
static at={
assert $("h1").text() == "Test website speed and performance"
}
static content = {
navBar {module NavigationModule}
//loginLink { $("a", text: "login")[0]}
}
}
and also I can't access from my script
void test() {
Browser.drive() {
to HomePage
navBar.
}
}
someone know what happen? I spent a lot of time searching in google but i don't find anything
thanks in advance

The Geb doc (http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/ide-and-typing.html#strong_typing) recommends to expecitly define Types to have a better IDE support.
With this example code completion works for me.
class HomePage extends Page {
static url = "http://www.websitetest.com"
static at={
assert $("h1").text() == "Test website speed and performance"
}
static content = {
navBar {module NavigationModule}
//loginLink { $("a", text: "login")[0]}
}
// explicitly define getter to give IntelliJ more type information
NavigationModule getNav() {
navBar
}
}
Test script:
void test() {
Browser.drive() {
// assign to page in order to have code completion on page
page = to HomePage
// code completin for homeLink works
navBar.homeLink
}
}
