Thibault Kruse created GROOVY-7568:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Groovysh output should be more safe, verbose about types
and String output
Key: GROOVY-7568
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7568
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Groovysh
Reporter: Thibault Kruse
Priority: Minor
The output of buffer evaluation results in Groovy hides a lot of useful
information from the user.
In particular Strings are printed without surrounding hyphens, collections are
printed without telling whether they are Lists, Maps, Sets, or Ranges. Ranges
are printed fully as lists (which can be unnecessarily long).
An implementation is almost done at
https://github.com/tkruse/incubator-groovy/tree/pretty
Both Python and Ruby shells follow the approach of printing strings as
code-strings (with hyphens and escaping).
The downside or more information is that this output could be regarded as "too
noisy".
