Paul King closed GROOVY-8042.
-----------------------------
> groovyConsole gets confused with a slashy string with an escaped forward slash
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8042
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8042
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Groovy Console
> Affects Versions: 2.4.7
> Reporter: David M. Karr
> Assignee: John Wagenleitner
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.4.13
>
>
> If I paste or enter the following into groovyConsole:
> --------------
> def escapeSlash = /The character \/ is a forward slash/
> --------------
> What it displays is a little confusing. It renders in yellow starting at the
> first forward slash. The intention is that this would show the entire
> expression, including the terminating forward slash, in yellow.
> What it actually does is terminate the "yellow" at the second forward slash,
> which is escaped.
> Fortunately, the expression does execute successfully, but the display makes
> it seem to the user that there is a syntax error with the expression.
