[jira] [Updated] (GROOVY-8996) String literal unexpectedly resolving to a local variable

["Роман Донченко (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8996?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Роман Донченко updated GROOVY-8996:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
Consider this code:

{code:groovy}
def toUpperCase = { 'ONE' }

'two'.with {
    println toUpperCase()
    println 'toUpperCase'()
    println "${'toUpperCase'}"()
}
{code}

It outputs this:

{code}
ONE
ONE
TWO
{code}

In other words, the argument to the second {{println}} is evaluated like the argument to the first one and not like the argument to the third one.

This seems very surprising and wrong:

# {{'toUpperCase'}} is equal to {{"${'toUpperCase'}"}}, so how can {{'toUpperCase'()}} and {{"${'toUpperCase'}"()}} be evaluated differently?
# How can the string literal {{'toUpperCase'}} evaluate to the local variable {{toUpperCase}}? The documentation mentions using string literals for property and method names, but not for local variable names.

In my opinion, the output should be:

{code}
ONE
TWO
TWO
{code}

  was:
Consider this code:

{code}

In other words, the argument to the second {{println}} is evaluated like the argument to the first one and not like the argument to the third one.

This seems very surprising and wrong:

1. {{'toUpperCase'}} is equal to {{"${'toUpperCase'}"}}, so how can {{'toUpperCase'()}} and {{"${'toUpperCase'}"()}} be evaluated differently?
2. How can the string literal {{'toUpperCase'}} evaluate to the local variable {{toUpperCase}}? The documentation mentions using string literals for property and method names, but not for local variable names.

In my opinion, the output should be:

{code}
ONE
TWO
TWO
{code}
