Daniel Sun commented on GROOVY-819: ----------------------------------- When using Parrot, we got the following error messages: {{groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Exception evaluating property 'get' for java.util.ArrayList, Reason: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: get for class: java.lang.String}} > Less than ideal error message when incorrectly trying to use optional > parenthesis > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-819 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-819 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: parser-antlr > Affects Versions: 1.0-JSR-1 > Environment: GNU/Linux 2.6.8, JDK 1.5.0-b64, Groovy CVS at 2005.04.15 > Reporter: Russel Winder > Fix For: 4.0 > > > The script: > adob = new ArrayList ( ) > adob.add "hello" > println adob.get 0 > generates the following error report. The report is seemingly incorrect (why > should it be expecting EOF) and say nothing about the real problem which is > that the ( was not found.
