URL: https://github.com/apache/grails-core/issues/14417

   I had a dynamic finder like this...
   
   Set<AccountEntry> aes = 
AccountEntry.findAllByDateGreaterThanEqualAndDateLessThanEqual(c.fromDate, 
c.toDate)
   
   And I couldn't figure out why it was generating a > and < SQL rather than >= 
and <= SQL.
   
   So it turned out to be my bad that it should be "Equals" rather than 
"Equal". However, it's not good that this doesn't generate any error.
   
   So it turns out that in DynamicFinder.java line 643, it tries to use regular 
expressions to figure out which expression to use. This expression is generated 
from DynamicFinder.java line 712...
   
   
\p{Upper}[\p{Lower}\d]+(Equal|NotEqual|NotInList|InList|InRange|Between|Like|Ilike|Rlike|GreaterThanEquals|LessThanEquals|GreaterThan|LessThan|IsNull|IsNotNull|IsEmpty|IsNotEmpty)
   
   from...
   
       private static void resetMethodExpressionPattern() {
           String expressionPattern = 
DefaultGroovyMethods.join((Iterable)methodExpressions.keySet(), "|");
           methodExpressinPattern = 
Pattern.compile("\\p{Upper}[\\p{Lower}\\d]+(" + expressionPattern + ")");
       }
   
   The trouble is, this expression isn't anchored at the end... so it matches 
GreaterThan and generates no error about the "Equal" which it doesn't 
understand.
   
   It seems to me that if the expression generated from 
resetMethodExpressionPattern was changed to end with "$"... the regex 
end-anchor, it would generate an error about unrecognized "GreaterThanEqual" 
and lead to more robust code from not having subtle errors that only manifest 
in certain edge cases.
