Paul King created GROOVY-7650:
---------------------------------

             Summary: CLONE - collectEntries throws cryptic error when used 
with split(delimiter, limit)
                 Key: GROOVY-7650
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7650
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4.5
         Environment: Java 7, 8 - all versions
MacOS
            Reporter: Rahul Somasunderam


Here is my code

{code}
def cityList = '''\
1 San Francisco
2 Cupertino
'''
def cityMap = cityList.split('\n').
    collectEntries{ it.split(' ', 2).toList() }
    
def cityMap2 = cityList.split('\n').
    collectEntries{ it.split(' ', 2) }
{code}

I initially only tried the second approach, and got an exception that was 
rather hard to debug:

{code}
Exception thrown

java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal class name "String;4_groovyProxy" in class 
file String;4_groovyProxy
        at ConsoleScript6.run(ConsoleScript6:8)
{code}

Gold would be if Groovy deals with this out of the box.
Silver would be if the error message told me what was wrong.
