Description

To avoid frightening new users of Groovy, executing scripts should not (by default) result in a Java stack trace that indicates where within the Groovy parser processing stopped.

There should be a way to enable output of stack traces for developers of Groovy though.

The initial drop of this is in place in CVS and for beta-4, primarily as it affects the FileSystemCompiler (groovyc). Work continues on a parser overhaul, by the end of which this bug should be closeable.

The latest CVS code now contains:

  • further parser recovery points; and
  • error reporting in the Groovyc Ant task.

things where better in beta-10 and after switching to the jsr compiler there were many new stacktraces. But I think JSR-02 will be much better here

Is this supported now with the -d switch or is something more expected?

No further feedback, assuming current -d is all that is required.
