[jira] [Closed] (GROOVY-8739) groovysh can't evaluate slashy strings

["Paul King (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8739?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Paul King closed GROOVY-8739.
-----------------------------
    Resolution: Duplicate

I believe this was fixed in a recent version:
{noformat}
Groovy Shell (4.0.3, JVM: 1.8.0_282)
Type ':help' or ':h' for help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
groovy:000> /abc/
===> abc
groovy:000>
{noformat}
Note: the parser is now smarter about finding ambiguities but there are still other places where the ambiguity can occur, e.g.:
{noformat}
groovy:000> println /abc/
groovy:001>
{noformat}

>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Groovysh
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-3, 2.5.1
>            Reporter: Роман Донченко
>            Priority: Minor
>
> If you type a slashy string into groovysh, it expects more input instead of evaluating it:
> {code:java}
> groovy:000> /abc/
> groovy:001{code}
> I know slashy strings can be ambiguous, but that shouldn't be an issue here, since an expression can't begin with a division operator.
