zyro commented on GROOVY-8194:
------------------------------
uhhm.. well ok. was not at all aware of this behavior. im fine with this being
handled as an enhancement for groovy 3.
> property access on a list acts like the spread operator
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8194
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8194
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4.4, 2.4.10
> Reporter: zyro
>
> why does the following assertion pass?
> {code}
> class Dummy {
> String name
> }
> def dummyOne = new Dummy(name: "dummy one")
> def dummyTwo = new Dummy(name: "dummy two")
> def dummies = [dummyOne, dummyTwo]
> assert dummies.name == ["dummy one", "dummy two"]
> {code}
> imho, {{dummies.name}} should fail with a {{MissingPropertyException}}.
> the assertion should only pass if the spread operator is actually used like
> {code}
> assert dummies*.name == ["dummy one", "dummy two"]
> {code}
> reproduced with groovy-2.4.4 and 2.4.10.
> same behavior if the list is defined inline or if the list is assigned to a
> variable first.
> thanks, zyro
