Jochen Theodorou commented on GROOVY-8705:
------------------------------------------
right now there is not really a solution for this unless we want to give the
list/map syntax and the subscript operator different characters. Right now the
compiler prefers the subscription and it can do really one of them.
> When add method of java.util.List is invoked with a list parameter with
> paranthesis removed , the method fails.

> Key: GROOVY-8705
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8705
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sarath Kumar
> Priority: Minor
>
> Consider following Groovy snippet
> def myList = [100, 200, 300]
> myList.add [400]
> println myList
> The above snippet fails with following output :
> Caught: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Exception evaluating property
> 'add' for java.util.ArrayList, Reason: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException:
> No such property: add for class: java.lang.Integer
> groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Exception evaluating property 'add' for
> java.util.ArrayList, Reason: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such
> property: add for class: java.lang.Integer
> at groovyDrill1.run(groovyDrill1.groovy:2)
> If I put parenthesis around the list parameter as myList.add ([400]) , the
> method works fine.I am new to Groovy and find the optional paranthesis
> feature inconsistent.
> Any status updates would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
