Paul King closed GROOVY-8042. ----------------------------- > 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 > Assignee: John Wagenleitner > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.4.13 > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
