[jira] [Created] (GROOVY-7569) PowerAsserts should print results more verbosely and safer

Thibault Kruse created GROOVY-7569:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: PowerAsserts should print results more verbosely and safer
                 Key: GROOVY-7569
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7569
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Thibault Kruse


The output of buffer evaluation results in PowerAsserts hides a lot of useful information from the user.

This is similar to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7568, but independent.

Discussed here:
http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Should-PowerAsserts-be-more-verbose-td5727255.html
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/spockframework/XbR-McgaAss/-wtkD1X1BAAJ

In particular Strings are printed without surrounding hyphens, collections are printed without telling whether they are Lists, Maps, Sets, or Ranges. Ranges are printed fully as lists (which can be unnecessarily long).

An implementation is almost done at https://github.com/tkruse/incubator-groovy/tree/pretty

The downside or more information is that this output could be regarded as "too noisy".
