Magnus Reftel commented on GROOVY-6220:
---------------------------------------
Slightly smaller testcase:
$ ~/opt/groovy-2.4.8/bin/groovy -e '/a'
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
script_from_command_line: 1: unexpected char: 0xFFFF @ line 1, column 3.
/a

1 error
> Compiler gives very cryptic error messages for unterminated regexes
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-6220
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-6220
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compiler
> Affects Versions: 1.8.6, 2.4.5
> Environment: Used with Gradle 1.6 on Windows XP.
> Reporter: Tomas Lycken
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: build.gradle, SillyClass.groovy
>
>
> When a Groovy class file has an unterminated regex somewhere, the compiler
> states that there is an invalid character 0xFFFF at the end of the file,
> rather than pointing at the unterminated regex.
> MWE (also attached)
> package silly
> public class SillyClass {
> public SillyClass() {
> println "testString".replaceAll(/\B[A-Z]) { it.toLowerCase() }
> }
> }
> Compiler error:
> <project path...>\src\main\groovy\silly\SillyClass.groovy: 9: unexpected
> char: 0xFFFF @ line 9, column 1.
> 1 error
> If this error is fixed in a later Groovy release, please let me know so I can
> file an issue with Gradle to update =)
