Eric Milles updated GROOVY-10893:
---------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> collectEntries one or more entry values for each iteration but not zero
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-10893
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10893
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Eric Milles
> Priority: Minor
>
> The {{collectEntries}} extension methods accept one entry (as an entry,
> array, list or map). And it accepts multiple entries (via a map). However,
> it does not let you return no entry (as null). You can probably return an
> empty map...
> Similar to {{findResults}}, I'd like to be able to conditionally return an
> entry or entries:
> {code:groovy}
> def map = list.collectEntries { item ->
> if (item ...) {
> def key = ..., val = ...;
> Collections.singletonMap(key, val)
> }
> }
> {code}
> {{org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.DefaultGroovyMethods#addEntry(Map,Object)}}
> could check for null before calling {{asType(newEntry, Map.Entry.class)}}.
> {{collectMany}} has a similar issue. I need to write "if (x) { y } else {
> Collections.emptyList() }" instead of just "if (x) { y }" in the closure
> block. A simple null check in
> {{org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.DefaultGroovyMethods#collectMany(Iterable,Collection,Closure)`
> could take care of this.
