--------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Compiler should fail for invalid targetBytecode values
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-10595
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10595
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compiler
> Affects Versions: 4.0.2
> Reporter: Lóránt Pintér
> Priority: Major
>
> When calling {{CompilerConfiguration.setTragetByteCode()}} with an invalid
> value, the user could be left thinking they set the value properly, when they
> didn't. One example is using {{"8"}} instead of the valid {{{}"1.8"{}}}. If
> the method failed for invalid values it would be easy to detect such a
> problem.
> Note that this problem is mostly hidden for Groovy 3, where Java 8 is the
> default target bytecode version. However, in Groovy 4 the target bytecode
> version defaults to the Java version being used. Setting this value to
> {{"8"}} thus results in the expected behavior in Groovy 3, but produces
> incorrect behavior in Groovy 4 when used with a Java version other than 8.
