David M. Karr created GROOVY-8042:
-------------------------------------
Summary: groovyConsole gets confused with a slashy string with an
escaped forward slash
Key: GROOVY-8042
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8042
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Groovy Console
Affects Versions: 2.4.7
Reporter: David M. Karr
Priority: Minor
If I paste or enter the following into groovyConsole:
--------------
def escapeSlash = /The character \/ is a forward slash/
--------------
What it displays is a little confusing. It renders in yellow starting at the
first forward slash. The intention is that this would show the entire
expression, including the terminating forward slash, in yellow.
What it actually does is terminate the "yellow" at the second forward slash,
which is escaped.
Fortunately, the expression does execute successfully, but the display makes it
seem to the user that there is a syntax error with the expression.
